Savage Arms 32049 Axis 2 22-250 Rem 4+1 22" Matte Black Sporter Barrel, Matte Black Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Fixed Flat Dark Earth Synthetic Stock, Right Hand

The Savage Arms 32049 Axis 2 in .22-250 Remington is a proven bolt-action rifle engineered for precision shooting, varmint control, and tactical training applications. Built for shooters who demand reliability without unnecessary complexity, this right-hand configuration delivers the accuracy and handling characteristics that professional and recreational marksmen depend on in the field. The .22-250 Remington cartridge offers flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making it ideal for long-range varmint work and target practice where precision and shot placement are paramount.

The rifle features a matte black drilled and tapped steel receiver, which provides a robust platform for mounting optics and accessories while resisting corrosion in field conditions. The 22-inch matte black sporter barrel is optimized for the .22-250 cartridge, delivering consistent velocity and inherent accuracy benefits of the platform's shorter length for improved handling and faster target transitions. A fixed flat dark earth synthetic stock enhances durability and reduces maintenance compared to traditional wood, while the detachable single-stack 4-round magazine ensures quick reloading and reliable feeding. The Axis 2 platform is known for its clean, predictable trigger break and solid lockup geometry that supports sub-MOA accuracy potential.

Professionals in law enforcement and military marksmanship training, along with civilian shooters engaged in varmint management and precision rifle development, benefit from the Axis 2's ergonomic design and adaptability. The drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver-format rings and bases, allowing integration with quality glass optics, night vision devices, or electronic sighting systems. At 8.8 pounds with a 42.5-inch overall length, the rifle balances shootability in prone and supported positions while remaining portable for field operations. This configuration suits bolt-action enthusiasts seeking a no-frills, purpose-built platform for extended-range accuracy work.
