The Savage Axis XP in 400 Legend delivers straight-wall cartridge performance for left-handed shooters in restricted hunting zones. This complete package includes a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope, eliminating the guesswork of optic selection and mounting.
What Makes This Different
The 400 Legend chambering provides 200-yard deer hunting capability while meeting straight-wall cartridge regulations in states like Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The left-hand configuration features a true left-side bolt handle and ejection port, not a simple mirror of right-handed actions. Savage's AccuTrigger system delivers crisp, user-adjustable trigger pulls from 2.5 to 6 pounds without gunsmith modification.

Field performance centers on the 400 Legend's ballistics, pushing 180-grain bullets at 2200 fps for effective deer hunting out to 200 yards. The cartridge generates less felt recoil than .30-30 Winchester while delivering superior terminal performance on medium game. The included scope package arrives factory bore-sighted, reducing initial setup time at the range.
