The Savage Axis XP Left-Hand 5.56 NATO Rifle, Threaded 20-Inch Barrel, with 3-9×40 Scope is a left-hand Savage bolt-action rifle in 5.56 NATO (Savage part no. 33086) with a threaded 20-inch heavy sporter barrel and a factory-mounted 3-9×40 scope. Its muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, ready for a brake or suppressor. The black synthetic stock has enhanced texturing and ambidextrous palm swells on the pistol grip, and the action uses thread-in barrel headspacing. A detachable box magazine feeds the rifle from a four-round capacity. It fits the hunter who wants a scoped rifle that can also take a suppressor or brake.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 5.56 NATO, the cartridge that decides which factory loads and handloads this rifle shoots.
• The 20-inch carbon steel barrel uses a heavy sporter contour and is button rifled by the maker.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so a compatible muzzle brake, flash hider or suppressor screws straight on.
• This is a left-hand model, built for left-handed shooters rather than being a right-hand rifle adapted after the fact.
• Rate of twist is 1:7, the rifling pitch the maker lists for this chambering.
• 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.
• The black synthetic stock has enhanced texturing and a contoured pistol grip with ambidextrous palm swells, which helps in wet or cold weather.
• Factory trigger pull is rated at 5 to 7 pounds, the range the maker lists for this model.
• Length of pull is 13.75 inches with a recoil pad on the butt, which sets how the rifle mounts and softens recoil.
