The Savage Axis 2 Pro is the upgraded version of Savage's best-selling budget bolt action: the same thread-in headspacing that gives Axis barrels their reputation for accuracy, now paired with a user-adjustable AccuTrigger, a threaded heavy-sporter barrel, a one-piece scope rail and a reshaped, better-gripping stock. It is built for hunters who want a rifle that shoots well straight out of the box without paying premium-brand money.
The Western version wears Savage's own Western camo pattern on the synthetic stock with a Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote barrel and action, so it suits dry, open country and stands up to weather. Nine popular calibres from .22-250 Rem to .30-06 Springfield are listed, each with a 508 mm (20″) threaded barrel, a four-round detachable magazine and a weight of 3.08 kg, in right- and left-hand versions.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger – user-adjustable from about 1.1 to 2.7 kg (2.5–6 lb) for a crisp, light let-off without a gunsmith.
- Thread-in headspacing – Savage's barrel system is a big part of why Axis rifles group so well for the money.
- Threaded heavy-sporter barrel – 508 mm carbon steel barrel, threaded 1/2x28 (.223 / .22-250) or 5/8x24 (all other calibres) for a suppressor or muzzle brake where your state allows.
- One-piece 0 MOA rail – fitted from the factory, so scope mounting is simple and solid.
- Reworked ergonomic stock – new shape with enhanced texturing and a pistol grip with ambidextrous palm swells.
- Enhanced bolt handle – redesigned for better control when cycling quickly.
- Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote – barrel and action are coated for corrosion and wear resistance.
- Detachable box magazine – four-round capacity with an ambidextrous magazine release.
- Right- and left-hand – every listed calibre is offered in both hands.
Best For
- Fox, rabbit and pest control – in .223 Rem or .22-250 Rem, a light-recoiling paddock rifle with the reach for foxes and wild dogs.
- Deer in open country – .243 Win, .25-06 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 and .270 Win suit fallow and red deer where shots stretch out; the Western camo blends into dry grass and scrub.
- Pigs, goats and bigger deer – .308 Win and .30-06 Springfield (and 6.5 CM, 7mm-08, .270 with suitable projectiles) carry the weight for pigs, goats and sambar at sensible ranges.

Buying & Licensing
The Axis 2 Pro Western is a Category B firearm (centrefire rifle, not self-loading). You will need a current firearms licence covering Category B and an approved Permit to Acquire before the rifle can be released. NSW buyers collect from our Roseville Chase store; interstate buyers can have it shipped to a licensed dealer of their choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Axis 2 Pro Western differ from other Axis 2 models?
The Pro models add the AccuTrigger, a threaded heavy-sporter barrel, a one-piece 0 MOA rail, Cerakote metalwork and the reshaped stock. The Western is the Pro in Savage Western camo with Gun Metal Bronze metalwork. If you want a rifle that arrives with a scope already fitted, see the Axis 2 XP FDE Package and Axis 2 XP Hardwood Package.
How do I mount a scope?
A one-piece 0 MOA rail comes fitted from the factory, so you only need a set of rings to suit your scope's tube diameter. We can supply and fit rings and a scope, and bore-sight it before collection.
What licence do I need?
A firearms licence that covers Category B, plus an approved Permit to Acquire for the rifle.
Can you ship it outside Sydney?
