The Savage Axis 2 XP Compact (brand part no. 32216) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester and built by Savage Arms as a scaled-down package rifle for smaller-statured hunters. It ships with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9×40 riflescope, cutting out a trip to the range before opening day, and a trimmed 20-inch barrel keeps the whole package short and easy to maneuver. The matte black and green stock gives this compact rifle a distinct look, while the user-adjustable AccuTrigger delivers a clean pull that belies the rifle’s affordable price point.
