The Savage Axis XP Compact Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor (brand part no. 33099) trims the standard Axis XP’s length of pull to fit smaller-framed shooters and young hunters without sacrificing the platform’s accuracy. Savage builds it around a button-rifled, heavy sporter threaded barrel and ships it with a factory-mounted and boresighted 3-9x40mm scope, so it’s ready to hunt straight out of the box. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge delivers flat trajectories and mild recoil that make it easy to shoot accurately across a range of distances, from close timber shots to open-field crossings. Among bolt-action rifles, this compact Axis XP suits smaller-statured hunters and first-time deer and hog hunters who want a rifle sized to fit them.
