Description
The Savage Axis 2 Pro Compact 350 Legend LH 18in is a left-hand bolt-action rifle built for hunters who need a compact, maneuverable platform without sacrificing reach or reliability. Chambered in .350 Legend, it pairs an 18-inch heavy threaded sporter barrel with a one-piece Picatinny rail and a fixed woodland camo synthetic stock. The Cerakote metal finish resists wear from rough country, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial in pull weight for cold mornings. This rifle is ready for optics out of the box, with a drilled-and-tapped receiver and a detachable 4-round magazine. For left-handed shooters who want a short-barreled workhorse for deer or hogs, this is a solid pick at $556.72.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger System — Why it matters: You can adjust trigger pull from 2.5 to 6 lbs without tools, ensuring a crisp break even with gloves on in cold weather.
- 18-Inch Heavy Threaded Sporter Barrel — Why it matters: The shorter barrel keeps the rifle balanced for tight cover, while the threading lets you add a suppressor or muzzle brake for reduced recoil.
- One-Piece Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: Mount optics directly without extra adapters—saves time and weight, and holds zero through rough handling.
- Fixed Woodland Camo Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: Blends into timber and brush, and the synthetic build shrugs off rain and mud without swelling.
- Detachable 4-Round Magazine — Why it matters: Reload fast in the field, and the flush-fit design won’t snag on brush or climbing stands.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed hunters who work tight cover—think whitetail in thickets, hogs in bottomland, or coyotes on the move. The compact 18-inch barrel and lightweight stock make it a natural for still-hunting or treestands where swing speed matters. It also suits shooters who prefer a shorter platform for suppressed use without a long barrel hanging out. If you’re a righty, look elsewhere—this is a dedicated left-hand action.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: User-adjustable AccuTrigger, threaded barrel for accessories, durable Cerakote finish, left-hand bolt for southpaws, affordable price point.
- Cons: Fixed stock limits length-of-pull adjustment for smaller or larger shooters. The 4-round magazine capacity may require extra mags for extended hunts.

FAQ
Does the Savage Axis 2 Pro Compact come with a scope or rings?
No, the rifle ships with a one-piece Picatinny rail but no optic or rings. You’ll need to add your own scope and rings that fit the rail. The receiver is drilled and tapped for easy mounting.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box for deer hunting?
Yes, the AccuTrigger and heavy barrel help deliver consistent accuracy. Many shooters report sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards with factory .350 Legend ammo. As with any rifle, break-in and proper ammo selection improve performance.
Can I use a suppressor with the threaded barrel?
Yes, the 18-inch barrel is threaded with standard 5/8×24 threads. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .350 Legend pressures. The compact length keeps the overall package manageable with a can attached.
What is the trigger pull weight range on the AccuTrigger?
The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from approximately 2.5 to 6 pounds, per Savage Arms specs. You can dial it down for precision shots or up for safety in heavy cover.
