The Axis II is well known for its affordable performance and precision. The Savage Axis II Compact gives you the same top-of-the-line quality in a more condensed package that is ideal for shooters with a smaller frame. The laser like accuracy that you demand from your hunting rifles is provided by the superb button rifled carbon steel sporter barrel. Ready for your preferred optic to put you on target, the receiver is drilled and tapped. Savage went back to the drawing board to reengineer the all weather stock for the Axis II which now features a more comfortable shooting experience and better overall ergonomics than the original Axis. Giving you the ability to fine tune the trigger to suite your shooting style it includes the famous user-adjustable Savage AccuTrigger. Perfect for youth and shooters of smaller stature, the Axis II Compact is also a great lightweight choice for a more experienced hunter hiking the back country. The detachable box magazine makes carrying extra ammo convenient, while reloading is quick and easy. Accuracy, ergonomics, performance and precision, everyone should have a Savage Axis II Compact ready when hunting season rolls around.
