Description
The Savage Axis 2 XP Hardwood 243 Win is a ready-to-hunt bolt-action rifle package chambered in 243 Win. It comes with a 3-9x40mm scope already mounted and bore-sighted, a 22-inch sporter barrel, a hardwood stock with laser-cut stippling, and a 4-round detachable magazine, so you can sight it in and head to the woods.
Savage Axis 2 XP Hardwood 243 Win Overview
The redesigned Axis 2 XP Hardwood gives hunters better out-of-the-box performance at an affordable price, with the classic look of a wood stock and the modern features hunters expect. The XP package takes the guesswork out of getting started: the scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory, so all you need is a box of ammunition and a trip to the range to confirm zero. The 243 Win is a classic for deer, pronghorn, and varmints, offering a flat trajectory and light recoil that newer and smaller-framed hunters appreciate.
Sporter Barrel and Precise Headspacing
The 22-inch carbon steel barrel has a sporter contour and a matte finish. Savage uses thread-in headspacing, setting the barrel to the action with precise tolerances, a process that is a big part of the accuracy Savage rifles are known for. The 1:9.25″ twist suits the most popular bullet weights for 243 Win.
Hardwood Stock with Stippling
The brown hardwood stock has been redesigned with improved ergonomics, including an updated pistol grip with ambidextrous palm swells. Laser-cut stippling on the grip and forend adds traction in wet or cold weather. A recoil pad softens each shot, and two sling studs are ready for a sling.
Mounted 3-9×40 Scope
A 3-9x40mm scope rides in medium Weaver-style rings on two-piece bases. The 3x setting gives a wide field of view for close shots in timber, while 9x lets you place a precise shot across a field. Bore-sighting at the factory gets you on paper quickly so you can fine-tune your zero with minimal ammunition.
User-Adjustable Trigger
The Savage AccuTrigger lets you set pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith. Its center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge while allowing a crisp, clean break, which builds confidence when that buck steps out.
Detachable Magazine and Enhanced Bolt
The rifle feeds from a 4-round detachable box magazine with an ambidextrous release. An enhanced bolt handle design makes cycling smooth and natural, so follow-up shots come quickly if you need them.

Before You Buy
Federal law requires this rifle to ship to a licensed FFL dealer, and you must pass a background check to take possession. Bore-sighting is not a substitute for live-fire zeroing, so confirm your zero at the range before hunting, and check that the scope rings are snug after the first few shots.
