The Savage Axis 2 XP Hardwood 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle is a bolt-action rifle from Savage chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, with a 22-inch barrel and a factory-mounted scope (brand part no. 32260). The 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory on two-piece Weaver-style bases, so most of the setup work is done before the box is opened. It is stocked in a brown hardwood sporter stock with a recoil pad and uses the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which the maker rates from 2.5 to 6 pounds. Savage lists it for big game, hog and predator hunting.
