The Savage Axis II XP Compact delivers precision hunting performance in a left-handed configuration specifically designed for smaller-framed shooters and youth hunters. This 7mm-08 Remington rifle combines Savage's renowned accuracy with a shortened length of pull and compact dimensions for improved handling and comfort.
What Makes This Different
The Axis II XP Compact features a 12.5-inch length of pull compared to the standard 13.75-inch measurement, making it significantly more comfortable for younger or smaller shooters. The included Weaver 3-9x40mm scope comes factory-mounted and bore-sighted, eliminating the guesswork and additional expense of optics selection. Savage's AccuTrigger system provides a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull that enhances accuracy potential beyond typical budget rifle offerings.
