Description
The Savage Axis 2 Compact .350 Legend Rifle, Gray, 4-Round is built for hunters who need a short, fast-handling rifle that still shoots flat and hits hard. Chambered in the straight-wall .350 Legend, this bolt action comes with a fixed gray synthetic stock and Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, so you can dial in a crisp pull without a gunsmith. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and it ships with one detachable box magazine. If you’re hunting tight cover or walking all day, this compact package keeps weight down and maneuverability up.

Key Features
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger – Why it matters: You can set the trigger pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, giving you a clean break that helps you shoot tighter groups in the field.
- Compact 12.5-Inch Length of Pull – Why it matters: Shorter LOP makes this rifle handle faster in brush, tree stands, or when you’re wearing heavy layers, so you can get on target quicker.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: Mount your favorite scope or red dot directly without sending it to a smith — saves time and money before opening day.
- Detachable Box Magazine (4-Round) – Why it matters: Reload fast when a second chance comes, or unload safely at the truck. No fumbling with internal boxes.
- .350 Legend Chambering – Why it matters: Straight-wall cartridge delivers deer-legal performance in many states, with mild recoil and flat trajectory out to 200 yards.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who works thick cover, hunts from a ground blind, or carries a gun all day in the mountains. It’s also ideal for youth or smaller-framed shooters who need a shorter stock but don’t want to lose capability. If you hunt in a straight-wall-only state, the .350 Legend is a proven choice.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, adjustable pull out of the box — no aftermarket trigger needed.
- Pro: Compact dimensions make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces and pack in a scabbard.
- Con: The synthetic stock is functional but not as stiff as a laminate or chassis — free-float bedding may need a check for consistent accuracy.

FAQ
What scope mounts fit the Savage Axis 2 Compact?
This receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage Axis bases. Use a Picatinny or Weaver rail designed for Savage long- or short-action, depending on your scope. We recommend checking the screw spacing before ordering.
Is the .350 Legend legal for deer in straight-wall states?
Yes. The .350 Legend meets the straight-wall cartridge requirements in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and most other states that restrict deer rifles to straight-wall calibers. Always check your local regs before season.
Does the AccuTrigger require tools to adjust?
No. The AccuTrigger has a built-in lever and adjustment screw that you turn with a small hex key (included). You can set pull weight from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds in minutes.
Can left-handed shooters use this rifle?
The Axis 2 Compact is a right-handed bolt action. Left-handed shooters should look for a left-port model or consider a different action.
What is the effective range of this rifle?
With quality 150-180 grain ammo, the .350 Legend is a 200-yard deer rifle. Past that, trajectory drops fast. Keep shots inside 200 for clean kills.
