Savage Axis 2 Gen II 6.5mm Creedmoor 22in OD Green 4+1

The Savage Axis 2 Gen II 6.5mm Creedmoor 22in OD Green 4+1 is a production-level bolt-action that punches well above its price point. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch sporter barrel, this rifle delivers the ballistic efficiency needed for both hunting and steel ringing out to 800 yards. The factory OD green synthetic stock, user-adjustable AccuTrigger, and detachable box magazine make it a no-excuses field rifle for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy without boutique pricing.

Key Features

• User-Adjustable AccuTrigger — Factory-set to 2.5–6 lbs, the AccuTrigger lets you dial out creep and overtravel without a gunsmith. Why it matters: at 300+ yards, a crisp break is the difference between a first-round hit and a walk-back to the truck.
• 22-Inch Sporter Barrel (1:8 Twist) — The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes 120–147gr projectiles, including 140gr ELD-Ms and 147gr ELD-Xs. Why it matters: you can shoot factory match ammo or handloads without rebarreling.
• Drilled & Tapped Receiver — Accepts standard Savage 2-piece bases or one-piece rails. Why it matters: you don’t need a gunsmith to mount your preferred optic—just torque to spec and shoot.
• Detachable Box Magazine (4+1 Capacity) — The 4-round magazine feeds smoothly and allows quick reloads. Why it matters: in a hunting scenario or a PRS Gas Gun division match, reload speed matters.
• OD Green Synthetic Stock — Textured grip panels and a flat dark earth-ish hue reduce glare and improve purchase in wet conditions. Why it matters: the stock is stiff enough for consistent cheek weld and free-floats the barrel from the forend.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the shooter who wants a 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots sub-MOA out of the box without spending $1,200+. It’s for deer hunters who need a lightweight rifle that carries well in the mountains, and for range rats who want to stretch to 1,000 yards without breaking the bank. If you’re a reloader or a new long-range shooter looking for an accurate platform to learn wind calls, the Axis 2 Gen II fits.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: AccuTrigger is adjustable without tools—rare at this price point.
• Pro: 1:8 twist handles heavy-for-caliber bullets like 147gr ELD-X.
• Pro: Detachable magazine makes unloading safe and fast.
• Con: Factory stock is functional but not chassis-rigid—free-float bedding may need a skim coat for absolute consistency. According to Savage specs, the stock is designed for hunting weight, not benchrest rigidity.
