The Savage Axis 2 Pro .243 Win Woodland is a left-hand bolt-action rifle with a threaded 20-inch barrel (Savage part no. 33226). Because the action is built left-handed, the bolt handle and ejection port sit on the left side of the receiver, so a left-handed shooter cycles the bolt naturally. A Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote barrel and action sit in a synthetic stock finished in Savage Woodland, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger and adaptable length of pull come from the Axis 2 Pro platform. The .243 Winchester has long been a go-to for deer, antelope and varmints because it shoots flat and kicks lightly. Savage lists it for big game, hog and predator hunting.
