The Savage Arms Axis 2 XP 5.56 NATO left-hand rifle (Savage part no. 33183) arrives as a complete package, with a 3-9×40 scope already mounted and bore-sighted. The 20-inch Heavy Sporter barrel is threaded 1/2×28, cut with a 1:7 twist and chambered in 5.56 NATO. An OD green synthetic stock with enhanced texturing and a left-hand action round out the build. Savage lists the Axis 2 family for big game, hog and predator hunting, so this one gives left-handed predator and varmint shooters a ready-to-shoot rifle.
