The Savage Axis 2 .223 Remington is a plain, light-handling bolt-action hunting rifle with a 22-inch barrel and an OD Green synthetic stock (Savage part no. 32037). Savage lists the Axis 2 for big game, hog and predator hunting, and the .223 Remington chambering makes this one a natural fit for coyotes and varmint work. It feeds from a 4-round magazine and the barrel carries a 1:9 rate of twist. Maker specs list an overall length of 42.5 inches and a weight of 6.6 pounds.
