The Savage Axis XP Combo in 22-250 Remington delivers exceptional accuracy and value for left-handed shooters seeking a complete hunting package. This bolt-action rifle combines Savage's proven AccuTrigger technology with a factory-mounted Weaver 3-9x40 scope, eliminating the guesswork and additional costs of separate optics purchases.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic hunting rifles that require separate scope purchases and mounting, the Axis XP arrives ready to hunt with a pre-mounted, bore-sighted optic system. The 22-250 Remington cartridge provides flat trajectory and exceptional accuracy at extended ranges, making it superior to standard .223 offerings for varmint hunting and predator control. Savage's AccuTrigger system delivers crisp, adjustable trigger pulls from 2.5 to 6 pounds without gunsmith modification.
Key Features
- AccuTrigger system with user-adjustable 2.5-6 pound pull weight
- 22-250 Remington chambering for flat shooting and long-range accuracy
- Left-handed bolt operation with smooth 60-degree bolt lift
- Factory-mounted Weaver 3-9x40mm scope with duplex reticle
- 4+1 round capacity with detachable box magazine
- 22-inch carbon steel barrel with button rifling
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip panels and length-of-pull spacers
Field performance centers on the 22-250's ability to deliver sub-MOA accuracy with proper ammunition selection. The cartridge excels in varmint hunting scenarios where shots extend beyond 300 yards, offering minimal wind drift and explosive terminal performance on prairie dogs, coyotes, and similar-sized game. The synthetic stock withstands temperature extremes and moisture without warping, while the carbon steel barrel maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions.
