The Savage Axis XP Combo delivers exceptional accuracy and value in a complete hunting package ready for the field. This bolt-action rifle combines Savage's proven AccuTrigger technology with a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope, eliminating the guesswork of scope selection and mounting.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic hunting rifles that require separate scope purchases and professional mounting, the Axis XP arrives factory-zeroed and ready to hunt. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger system allows shooters to customize pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without gunsmith intervention. The button-rifled barrel maintains consistent accuracy across temperature variations, while the synthetic stock resists weather damage that can warp traditional wood stocks.
Key Features
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger with 2.5-6 pound pull weight range
- Factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40mm scope with duplex reticle
- Button-rifled 22-inch carbon steel barrel with matte black finish
- Detachable box magazine holds 4 rounds plus 1 in chamber
- Synthetic stock with textured grip panels and dual pillar bedding
- Top-loading action accommodates standard-length cartridges
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts Weaver-style scope bases
The 243 Winchester cartridge provides flat trajectory and manageable recoil suitable for deer-sized game out to 300 yards. The combination of moderate recoil and inherent accuracy makes this rifle effective for both experienced hunters and those transitioning from smaller calibers. The synthetic stock maintains zero in wet conditions where wood stocks might shift point of impact.
