The Savage Axis 2 XP Hardwood .400 Legend Rifle, 20-Inch Barrel, with 3-9×40 Scope is a Savage bolt-action hunting package in .400 Legend (Savage part no. 32264) that pairs a hardwood stock with a mounted 3-9×40 scope. Laser-cut stippling on the pistol grip and forend gives it grip, and the AccuTrigger lets you set the pull weight yourself. Like the rest of the Axis 2 XP line it uses thread-in barrel headspacing and a detachable box magazine. It is a good match for a hunter who prefers wood to a synthetic stock but still wants a scoped rifle ready for the field.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is .400 Legend, the cartridge that decides which factory loads and handloads this rifle shoots.
• The 20-inch carbon steel barrel uses a heavy sporter contour, a length that keeps the rifle handy in the field.

• Capacity is 4 rounds in a detachable box magazine, with one magazine included.
• A 3-9×40 scope comes factory mounted and bore-sighted on two-piece Weaver-style bases with medium Weaver-style rings, so you only need to confirm your zero.
