The Savage Arms Axis 2 XP .22-250 Remington left-hand rifle is a scoped bolt-action package for hunters who shoot from the left shoulder (Savage part no. 33185). Its 20-inch heavy sporter barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and a 3-9×40 scope arrives mounted and bore-sighted from the factory, so the rifle only needs to be sighted in at the range. The carbon steel action carries a left-side bolt, which spares a left-handed shooter from reaching across the receiver to cycle a round. Savage adds its user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a synthetic OD green stock with a recoil pad. It is a practical choice for a hunter who wants a left-hand rifle in .22-250 Remington without paying for a custom build.
