The Savage Axis 2 XP Compact 6.5 Creedmoor is a scoped bolt-action rifle with a short 12.75-inch length of pull and a 20-inch barrel (Savage part no. 32231). A 3-9x40mm scope arrives mounted and bore-sighted on a gray synthetic stock, giving smaller-framed shooters a complete setup for deer, hogs and predators. It feeds from a 4-round magazine and the barrel carries a 1:8 rate of twist. Maker specs list an overall length of 39.5 inches and a weight of 7.5 pounds.

Key Specifications

• The rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, so only factory or handloaded ammunition of that designation belongs in it.
• Barrel length is 20 inches, which sets the handling and the overall length.
• The rate of twist is 1:8, the spin rate the barrel gives the bullet.
• Capacity is 4 rounds in a detachable box magazine, which makes reloading quick.
• A 3-9x40mm scope is factory mounted and bore-sighted, so it only needs a final zero at the range.
• The stock is gray synthetic with a matte finish and a recoil pad, a durable field setup.
• The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable, with a pull weight range of 2.5 to 6 pounds.
• Overall length is 39.5 inches, which sets how the rifle fits in a vehicle or blind.
