Why Buy the Savage Axis 2 XP About Us Dealers and Reps Meet Team Savage Careers News Store Partnerships Barrel and Accuracy The 20-inch barrel is carbon steel in a heavy sporter threaded contour with a matte black finish. Its 1:9.5 twist rate is set up to stabilize the bullet weights commonly loaded in 7mm-08 Rem, which matters for consistent groups. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, so you can add a suppressor or muzzle device. AccuTrigger and Action The user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you set the pull weight yourself from 2.5 lbs to 6 lbs, and its AccuRelease blade helps keep it from firing unless it is pulled deliberately. A crisp, light break is one of the easiest ways to shoot smaller groups. It feeds from a detachable box magazine that holds 4 rounds, with an ambidextrous magazine release. The bolt release is on the side. The receiver is carbon steel with a black matte finish. Stock and Fit The stock is synthetic in Gray (Sporter style). Length of pull is 12.75 to 13.75. A recoil pad at the butt helps manage recoil. 2 sling studs let you add a sling or bipod. Optics and Sights A 3-9x40 scope comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory, so you only need to zero it before your first hunt. Who the Savage Axis 2 XP Is For This 7mm-08 Rem rifle is a good fit for big game hunting, hog hunting and predator hunting. The 20-inch barrel keeps it handy in the field. About the 7mm-08 Rem Chambering 7mm-08 Rem is a centerfire cartridge with factory ammunition available from all of the major makers. Bullet choice matters more than anything else for clean, ethical results, so pick a bullet built for the game or target you plan to shoot, then confirm your zero at the distance you expect to use it. Shooting groups with two or three different loads is the quickest way to find the most accurate one for your barrel. Getting It Range Ready Read the owner manual that comes with the rifle before handling it, and confirm it is unloaded every time you pick it up. Start your first session at a short distance to get on paper, then move back in steps while you refine your zero or point of aim. Shoot from a stable rest, let the barrel cool between strings, and write down the load, distance and group size so you can repeat your results later in the season. Care and Cleaning Before the first trip to the range, clean the bore and chamber to remove any preservative from the factory, then check that all screws are snug. After shooting, run a cleaning rod with a patch and solvent through the bore from the chamber end, follow with dry patches, and wipe exterior metal with a light coat of oil. Store the rifle unloaded in a dry, secure place, ideally a safe with a dehumidifier, and keep ammunition stored separately.
