The Savage Axis 2 XP LH 6.5 Creedmoor 22 in Barrel 4rd is a factory-ready left-hand bolt-action rifle that delivers sub-MOA potential out of the box. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel and a user-adjustable AccuTrigger, this package includes a factory-mounted, bore-sighted 3-9×40 scope. The fixed synthetic green stock and drilled-and-tapped receiver mean you can mount optics or accessories without a gunsmith. For a left-handed shooter who wants a reliable, accurate field rifle without building from scratch, this is a solid entry point.

Key Features

  • AccuTrigger — User-adjustable trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds, giving you a repeatable, crisp break that improves precision at distance without a gunsmith visit.
  • Factory-Mounted 3-9×40 Scope — Bore-sighted and ready to zero, saving you the cost and hassle of buying and mounting a separate optic. For a field hunter or entry-level precision shooter, this gets you on steel faster.
  • 22-Inch Carbon Steel Barrel — The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes 140-147 grain projectiles, which is the sweet spot for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics. You get adequate velocity for shots to 800 yards without the weight of a 24-inch tube.
  • Detachable Box Magazine (4-Round) — Allows quick reloads and safe unloading. The polymer magazine feeds reliably with the 6.5 Creedmoor case geometry, and spares are affordable.
  • Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver — Accepts standard Weaver/Picatinny bases for aftermarket optics. If you decide to upgrade from the included scope, you don’t need a smith to drill holes.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the left-handed hunter or long-range shooter who wants a factory rifle that shoots better than its price tag suggests. If you’re a deer hunter working fields or timber edges, or a steel shooter ringing targets at 600-800 yards, the Axis 2 XP LH delivers. It’s also ideal for the shooter who wants a reliable platform to learn wind calls and dope without spending $1,500+ on a custom build.

Pros/Cons

  • Pro: AccuTrigger is adjustable without tools and breaks cleanly at 2.5 pounds — a feature usually found on rifles costing twice as much.
  • Pro: Left-hand action is rare at this price point; most budget rifles are RH only.
  • Con: The factory scope is adequate for hunting but lacks target turrets or illumination. Plan to upgrade to a dedicated long-range optic if you’re shooting past 400 yards consistently.
  • Con: The synthetic stock is functional but has some flex under bipod pressure. A simple bedding job or aftermarket chassis will tighten groups further.

Note: The Ruger American Predator is a direct competitor in price and accuracy, but lacks a left-hand option. The Tikka T3x offers smoother action and better aftermarket support, but costs nearly double. The Savage Axis 2 XP LH delivers the best value for left-handed shooters who want a ready-to-shoot package.

FAQ

What is the twist rate on the Savage Axis 2 XP LH 6.5 Creedmoor?

The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains. This covers the most common 6.5 Creedmoor loads for hunting and target shooting.

Can I mount a different scope on this rifle?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weaver/Picatinny bases. You can remove the factory scope and rings, then install any optic that fits the rail footprint. Expect to spend $20-40 on bases if you don’t reuse the factory rings.

Does the AccuTrigger require a gunsmith to adjust?

No. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable with a small Allen wrench (included). You can change pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds in seconds, without disassembling the action.

Is this rifle accurate out of the box?

Per Savage Arms specs, the Axis 2 XP is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with quality match ammunition. Many users report 0.75-1.0 MOA groups at 100 yards with factory loads like Hornady ELD-M or Federal Gold Medal.

What does the package include besides the rifle?

The package includes the rifle, one 4-round detachable box magazine, a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9×40 scope, and a trigger adjustment tool. You will need to purchase rings if you replace the scope.
