Savage Arms Axis II XP Hardwood 22554 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Only gave 4 stars

I did not get to shoot this rifle yet bought it in 270 but all looks good except for one thing in Cabela's add it said it would come with a Bushnell scope instead mine came with a Weaver 3x9x40 I bought the gun on sale and will probably change the scope o

25-06

I just purchased one in 25-06 and I sited it in yesterday. It is a nice lite gun that shoots real well. Buy on while it's on sale.

Great gun.

I bought this gun without the scope. I put a $200 scope on it and can hit 425 yards sub moa. I would shoot farther if I had a bigger range to shoot at. This is a solid gun hands down.

It's ok, but not my thing

I bought this gun about 3 or 4 years ago and it's ok for the money. I got the 270 and it kicks pretty hard, and the trigger is not the best. I also am not a fan of how the safety works. I could not get the trigger to pull do to they way it cycled and miss

Love this rifle

Great rifle, got it in 6.5 creedmoor and it packs a punch. For 200$ for the rifle and the scope combo it's a no brainer(100$ rebate) sighted in with 5 shots and was shooting more accurate then my buddies 600$+ rifle that day!

Exceeding Expectations...

I bought this in 30-06 b/c of the sale and the rebate. I needed a second and larger rifle due to the thick brush I have started hunting. I didn't expect it to shoot 2" MOA w/ Hornady SST 150g at 100 yards w/ this stock, rings and scope. (And I have n

Very nice guns for the money..

I bought this rifle in 2015 in 308 cal,, I liked it so well in 2016 i bought another one in 243 cal,,The only thing about this rifle it don't come in 7mm..If they make it in future i will buy it also..

watch out for dirt

My second review, in the second year of using the rifle, 25-06, for deer hunting it scored again, still a lot of damage to the deer. But my big problem is dirt. Being a good hunter, I leave the chamber empty while traveling, thus in old age forgot to cham

Good rifle for the price

I bought this rifle in the .270 model, near the end of deer season last year. I have been very happy with it. Scope was loose when I purchased it, so I set it up and made sure all hardware was tight. Bought a bullet bore sight and set it a 25, 50, and 100

.308/7.62 great mid range shooter for the price..

A good bolt action rifle in .308/7.62 cal. Comes ready to go , but check out the scope first... for the price its a decent shooter...

Amazing

Bought it a while ago popped a nice 9 point works perfectly the trigger pull bit hard for an accurate shot but the gun is great especially in 25-06

Nice

I bought the savage 30-06 shoots great very light and powerful

Perfect Yet...

I purchased this rifle about 2 months ago and I finally got a chance to shoot it and kill a hog with it I got in 25 06 and using 115 grain Winchester ballstic silvertips it performed beautifully the only issue I have with it is that it wasn’t bore sighted

Great rifle poor scope

I bought this Savage Axis .308 Winchester at Bass Pro in Round Rock, TX on 5/27/2017.Rifle shoots great, zeroed quickly and easily...after 7 shots this morning the cross-hairs in the Bushnell scope broke loose. I understand they put low budget scopes on t

Scope is horrible

Rifle is powerful shooting the .308, 180 grain bullets. After shooting around 40 rounds, the scope fell off. After another 40 rounds, the scope was broken from the inside. Doesn't have irons sights.

different

I bought this gun in 25-06 because I wanted something light in weight. It is light to carry, but had I had any idea what it would do to a deer, I would have choose a different cal. With a 117 grain bullet, it destroyed the back strap. You want range, it's

Lotta Work

I read the reviews others had written before I purchased this gun. Bought it based on that and the need for a cheap gun to carry on my bike and in the boat moose hunting. It took two days of steady shooting and 2 boxes of rounds to straighten out the mess

Great Starter Riffle

I bought this riffle two seasons ago. Accurate right out of the box, but I did resight it for 100 yards, which is my average shot for deer and hogs.

surprise! surprise!

I bought this gun for use in bad conditions, when it was to wet or dirty to carry more expensive guns. To my surprise, I find myself reaching for this gun even when the weather is good. This gun in a 243 brought down a monster hog at 300 yds. first trip o

GREAT PRICE & GOOD QUILTY

I BAUGHT MY SAVAGE AXIS 2 BOLT ACTION RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX I WAS ON PAPER WITH IN LESS THAN A BOX OF BULLETS I HAD IT ZEROED IN I WAS OUT AT MY BROTHERS HOUSE THIS CHRISTMAS EVE . 2015 WE ARE BOTH EXPERIENCED SHOOTERS WE PUT 3 BULLETS IN THE SAME HOLE I T

Nice firearm, horrible optics

The rifle itself is a nice gun for the price. The big problem was first bullet fired from the blind, the scope fell apart (internal crosshairs reticle came loose and is rattling around inside scope). Quite the disappointment on the first morning of a thre

Good rifle

I bought this rifle yesterday in 25-06 caliber it shoots well no kick really the scope is good and it shoots on paper right out of the box the camo stock has a lot lighter look to it the camo in the picture is definitely darker than as it comes in but I l

Good purchase for the price

Bought gun in .243 on 8/26/15. Took it to the range for wife to shoot and first shot was 2 inches from bulls eye!! Scope was bore sighted great. Only concerns are the second movement of bolt to get it to the eject position. Thoroughly cleaned it night bef

accurate

I purchased this rifle in the 7mm.08, brought it home,opened the box,read instruction`s,put it together,took it to the dirt pit and within 4 shots was hitting pinwheels at 100 yards..love the range and knock down power of this rifle.This caliber has mild

Great Buy

I brought this rifle about a month an half. This package shock me , I got it in a 7mm08 And let me tell you when I shoot it at the club I was a very happy camper. I was off center by two inch and the group was tight . For coming out off the box that was g

Junk for a new rifle 30-06 AXIS

I very irritated right now. I bought this Savage Axis 30-06 brand new. First off it's supposed to have a Weaver scope on it yet it came with a Bushnell and I didn't see this until I purchased it. Another person said the same thing. Second, the magazine ha

Creedmoor 6.5

I bought this with the wood stock/Accu-trigger on sale primarily as a hunting predator rifle. Put a new 20 MOA rail on top and a Cabela's caliber specific scope (300 Win Mag as the ballistics are similar). Shooting 1/2" groups at 100 yards using Remi

Scope

Ad indicates that a Weaver 3-9x40 will be mounted. The rifle I purchased had a Bushnell 3-9x. I didn't complain because the Cabela's where I bought the gun is 60-miles AWAY (round trip) and I knew they would ask me to bring the package back.I didn't need

Beware of the scope bases.

The scope bases that come with this combo do not match the scope rings. If you look closely where the rings clamp on the bases you will see where the bases are not machined to a sharp enough vee to seat in the vee of the rings and the rings are barely sea

Garbage

Bought the .30-06, magazine is cheap plastic, it misfires, and the polymer stock is inadequate. Save your money and buy a Ruger. And good luck getting a hold of someone in customer service, they will not get back to you.

fantastic accuracy

Picked up the Axis II in .270... clerk bore sighted it and out of the box it was on paper at 100 yards... Within a box of shells, I covered 3 shots with a dime. I was shocked. You can't beat accuracy like that at this price. Would have rather had the Niko

Best for the price

Purchased this rifle 2 years ago in 223. My combo purchase was well worth the price. The only problem I've had was after sitting in the gun case for a year the stock had warped and was touching the barrel - pulled the hardware out of the stock - used a dr

Awesome rifle would buy again

I picked this rifle up back last year early November, and got in .308 winchester , and have shot it maybe 25 times and love it. when it says factory bore sighted that's not accurate. But the scope this rifle comes with is decent and clear. Right out of th

No happy

I own 5 different Savage rifles and expected the Axis to be just as good as others. The magazine latching method couldn't be any cheaper and I expect it to wear out quickly. The barrel is touching the stock in the front 2 inches. I always had good accurac

first bad Savage

I own 7 Savage rifles and I am happy with all of them except this one. It may turn out to be a good rifle, but it's off to a bad start. I shot the rifle once and I can't get the bolt to rack out the spent casing. It was suggested to get a rubber mallet to

My new FAVORITE rifle

Purchased this in .308 last week and had the associate bore sight one more time as I was headed on a hunting trip. I noticed right away that the trigger pull does not need adjusted from factory settings, for my liking, and sight was perfect. Bagged 4 hogs

Needed work right out of the box.

I bought this Savage combo in 6.5 Creedmoor. Right out of the box I noticed that the forestock was touching the barrel on the right side. I didn't think much of it except when it was placing 4" groups. I thought it must be the Weaver scope. But the o

Excellent rifle

Bought this gun the 223 variant for shooting varmints and other pests around the house. After getting sighted in shot five rounds in a single hole at 100 yards. Was very impressed with fit and finish as well.

This rifle shoots awesome!

I received this rifle in 308 win as an early birthday gift on Nov. 6th.I bagged an 8 pt buck on Nov. 9th.I love the rifle..I really like the trigger it has a very clean release The scope not so much.The eye relief doesn't work well with my glasses,but I'm

Great rifle

Great rifle scope combo. rifle tight group out of the box scope clear

Worth Every Penny

Bought this before the combo deal, without the Accu-trigger. Zeroed my old Simmons scope that morning, then went for an evening hunt. Took my first 3x4 buck two years ago...on the first shot. Have since replaced the scope with a new Weaver (I compared it

Better than expected

I actually have two Savage Axis rifles. One is the original without the Accutrigger and the other is the Savage Axis 2 with the Accutrigger. I've spent much more on other rifles only to have them be less accurate than the Axis. When I took it to the range

Very nice rifle

I bought this .243 for my wife and she loves it. Light enough for her to easily carry and she can put three in the bull at 100 yds. Gonna buy one for my new daughter-in-law.

Great Shooter: Savage AXIS 223

Purchased a Savage Axis .223 with pre-installed Weaver 3x9x40 scope. Windage was spot on and elevation took 4 quick "up" adjustments to get on the X. Very nice to shoot. Used locktite blue on scope mounting screws and I had no problems with the

Excelent Combo

This is a fantastic combo. I am a very inexperienced shooter. I go out a handful of times a year and shoot milk jugs and things like that. I have a Remington 700 CDL in 30-06 and this combo shoots just as good.I got the combo with a camo stock in 270 W an

Accurate, Great Value

I bought this gun in .243 - It really is a good little gun. Trigger is adjustable and so far this thing has shot awesome groups.

Great Value Rifle

This rifle is a great purchase for the price. Being relatively new to deer hunting, the Weaver scope Axis II XP package was the perfect rifle. It grouped tightly at up to 400 yards out of the box. One con about the rifle is the stock, as hollow plastic is

Excellent rifle

I am giving this 4 stars because, despite the description, the scope wasn't even close to being bore sighted in. Out of the box, it was shooting 16" left of bullseye at 50 yards.

Concerning my purchase of a Savage Axis ll XP 25-06 Woodweaver from Buds gun shop. The purchase went thru with no hassle. The rifle actually delivered ahead of estimated delivery. The rifle and packaging were in great condition. No issues at all, The rifl

First of all buds was great! I received the gun in like 3 days and im in Texas. Savage really has some work to do though. Every other shot I was getting light strikes. The pin would hit the primer but no explosion. After 2 different brands of quality ammo
