Savage Arms® Introduces the New AXIS Rifle Line

Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, announces the next evolution of its renowned AXIS rifle line and several new models are now available. Savage set the industry standard in 2010 with the out-of-the-box accuracy of AXIS. For more than a decade, that feat and other features on the platform have not been replicated. These new rifles are an extension of the unmatched affordable accuracy of AXIS with modern features, design and an appeal to all shooters and hunters. The AXIS models listed below are now shipping. 

“AXIS set the bar for affordability and accuracy in regards to rifles,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. "AXIS is built for everyone from novices to experts. We have the right rifle for anyone with options that include wood, camo, compact, left hand, multiple colors and just about every combination within that mix; all with unmatched accuracy and performance, right out of the box."

The extended line of AXIS rifles showcases five new or updated models that cater to the diverse needs of hunters and shooters. AXIS XP, AXIS 2, AXIS 2 XP, AXIS 2 XP HARDWOOD and AXIS 2 PRO all bring something new and improved to the woods and the range.

New Lineup

The AXIS XP gets a new look with improved ergonomics and is loaded with features that are standard on every new AXIS. These rifles deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot and include precision button-rifled barrels and thread-in head spacing. The updated bolt handle with a sleek, ergonomic design delivers on functionality. This bolt handle will help to enhance user control and comfort during operation, especially in adverse conditions like rain or cold weather. All models are available for $479.00 and come with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40 scope.

The AXIS 2 takes all the features of the AXIS XP and adds the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. Look for the AXIS 2 in OD Green, Gray and FDE. The AXIS 2 models carry an MSRP of $489.00

The AXIS 2 XP combines the functionality of the AXIS XP with the performance of the user-adjustable AccuTrigger in the AXIS 2. It comes standard with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40 scope with fully multi-coated lenses and tool-less windage and elevation adjustments. The AXIS 2 XP is available in a wide variety of calibers, the same stock color options as AXIS 2, and in compact, left-hand and compact left-hand models. The AXIS 2 XP models have an MSRP of $549.00.

The AXIS 2 XP HARDWOOD features enhanced ergonomics with its HARDWOOD stock. This model includes laser-cut stippling on the pistol grip and forend for easier handling in all conditions. The AXIS 2 XP HARDWOOD gives hunters the classic look of a walnut stock with all of the modern features of the new AXIS platform. A factory mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40 scope with fully multi-coated lenses and tool-less windage and elevation adjustments is included. The AXIS 2 XP HARDWOOD is available for $689.00.

The final addition to the updated AXIS line, the AXIS 2 PRO, boasts all of the best features of the AXIS family. These PRO models showcase Savage camouflage patterns Woodland and Western, with Cerakote finishes to both match and outlast the elements. Add a threaded barrel and a one-piece rail, and these rifles are ready to get to the range and into the field. 

Whether a shooter prefers a full-size, compact or left-hand model, Savage Arms offers a new AXIS to fit their needs. The company understands that every hunter and shooter is unique, and its rifles should reflect that individuality. 

The AXIS rifle series has always been known for its reliability, accuracy and affordability. The new line-up of AXIS rifles maintains these core qualities while incorporating enhancements based on customer feedback and technological advancements. Savage Arms remains committed to providing hunters with the best tools for success in the field.
