The Savage Arms Axis 2 Compact delivers precision shooting performance in a platform sized for smaller-framed shooters and tactical applications. This 223 Remington rifle combines Savage's proven accuracy with compact dimensions that excel in confined spaces and extended carry situations.
What Makes This Different
The heavy sporter barrel profile provides superior heat dissipation and enhanced accuracy compared to standard lightweight barrels. The compact receiver design reduces overall length by 2 inches while maintaining full-size performance capabilities. Savage's AccuTrigger system delivers crisp, adjustable trigger pull from 2.5 to 6 pounds, enabling consistent shot placement that standard factory triggers cannot match.
Key Features
- 20-inch heavy sporter barrel with matte black finish for improved accuracy and heat management
- 4+1 capacity with detachable box magazine for quick reloads
- Drilled and tapped carbon steel receiver accepts standard scope mounts
- Fixed synthetic stock in matte gray with textured grip surfaces
- AccuTrigger system with user-adjustable pull weight
- Right-hand configuration with ergonomic bolt handle placement
- 223 Remington chambering handles both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition
Field performance centers on the heavy barrel's ability to maintain accuracy through extended shooting sessions. The 223 Remington chambering provides flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making it effective for varmint hunting, target shooting, and tactical applications. The synthetic stock resists weather extremes and maintains zero through temperature changes that affect wood stocks.
