The Savage Axis II XP Compact delivers precision shooting performance in a configuration specifically engineered for left-handed shooters. This bolt-action rifle combines the proven 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge with a compact 20-inch barrel length, creating an ideal platform for hunters and target shooters who demand accuracy without excess weight.
What Makes This Different
The Axis II XP features Savage's AccuTrigger system, which provides a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull that enhances shot placement consistency. Unlike standard factory triggers that often require gunsmith modification, the AccuTrigger adjusts from 1.5 to 6 pounds without tools. The rifle's left-hand bolt configuration includes a properly positioned safety and ejection port, eliminating the awkward brass ejection patterns that right-handed actions create for southpaw shooters. The compact stock design reduces length of pull by approximately one inch compared to standard models.
Key Features
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger system (1.5-6 lbs pull weight)
- Button-rifled 20-inch carbon steel barrel with matte finish
- Detachable 4-round box magazine with flush-fit design
- Synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and compact dimensions
- Factory-mounted Weaver scope bases included
- Left-hand bolt action with three-position safety
- Thread-in barrel headspacing for consistent accuracy
The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge provides exceptional long-range performance with minimal recoil, making extended shooting sessions more comfortable. The compact 20-inch barrel maintains sufficient velocity for hunting applications out to 400 yards while improving maneuverability in dense cover or confined shooting positions. The rifle's synthetic stock resists moisture and temperature changes that can affect wooden stocks, maintaining zero consistency across varying environmental conditions.
