Savage Axis II Pro: Not Just for Beginners

Savage Arms has been a trusted name in firearms since 1894, and their commitment to innovation continues with the Savage Axis II Pro. Located in the heart of Gun Valley, Savage combines old-world craftsmanship with modern technology to produce high-quality rifles. The Axis II Pro offers precision and performance at an affordable price point, making it an attractive option for hunters and shooters.

Savage Axis II Pro: Built with Expertise and Efficiency

Savage has earned a reputation for manufacturing rifles with high accuracy and quality without breaking the bank. The Axis II Pro exemplifies this with its competitive pricing, achieved through efficient manufacturing rather than cutting corners on features. Available in a variety of finishes, including Savage Camo patterns and Cerakote finishes, the Axis II Pro offers durability and style.

The Axis II Pro is available in a range of popular calibers in both left-hand and compact models. It also features the renowned AccuTrigger, which was a game-changer when introduced to factory rifles. This trigger allows for a crisp, adjustable pull right out of the box.

Building and Testing the Axis II Pro

During a visit to the Savage factory, we had the chance to build an Axis II Pro from scratch. From installing the bolt to working with its innovative stock, it was clear that Savage designed this rifle with shooters in mind. The new Axis II stock installs with just two screws, making it easy to swap with one of many aftermarket stocks available.

At the range, the Axis II Pro performed as expected—exceptionally well. The redesigned stock includes a more vertical grip that aligns with modern shooting techniques and helps with different shooting positions, especially when shooting prone. As a left-handed shooter, I appreciated the left-hand bolt option, which Savage thoughtfully includes in the Axis II line.

Key Features of the Savage Axis II Pro

• AccuTrigger: Fully assembled and installed for precise and fast shooting
• Available in Popular Calibers: Choose from a wide selection of hunting and shooting calibers
• Innovative Stock Design: Modern vertical grip for improved shooting positions
• Cerakote Finishes and Savage Camo: Durable finishes that protect against the elements

Savage Accuracy at an Affordable Price

Savage rifles are known for accuracy, and the Axis II Pro is no exception. The Axis II Pro is smooth and easy to operate with a redesigned bolt head that offers more clearance when running a scope. We tested the rifle at 100 yards and achieved impressive groupings, demonstrating its capability to deliver tight, consistent shots.

Savage’s reputation for delivering affordable, accurate rifles continues with the Axis II Pro. While sighting the gun, we could easily zero in, resulting in tight three-shot groups, even with a new rifle that was still breaking in. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or new to the sport, the

Axis II Pro offers the accuracy and quality you expect from Savage without the high price tag.
