The Savage Arms Axis 2 XP Combo in 400 Legend delivers straight-wall cartridge performance for hunters in restricted zones, paired with a factory-mounted scope for immediate field readiness. This left-handed configuration addresses the needs of southpaw shooters with proper ergonomics and ejection patterns. The 400 Legend cartridge provides effective terminal performance on medium game while meeting straight-wall regulations in many states.
What Makes This Different
The Axis 2 XP features Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger system, allowing shooters to customize pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without gunsmith services. Unlike basic hunting rifles, this model includes a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40mm scope, eliminating additional optics costs. The 400 Legend chambering offers 20% more energy than .350 Legend while maintaining straight-wall compliance for restricted hunting zones.
