Savage Arms 32314 Axis 2 .400 Legend 20" 5-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Savage Arms 32314 Axis 2 .400 Legend 20" 5-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle represents a modern bolt-action platform purpose-built for hunters and tactical shooters seeking a compact, hard-hitting cartridge with minimal recoil and superior short-range ballistics. Introduced as part of Savage's Axis II line, this rifle bridges the gap between traditional hunting rifles and purpose-designed tactical systems, offering a lightweight platform ideal for dense cover hunting, predator control, and intermediate-distance precision shooting where the .400 Legend's proven terminal performance excels.

Built on Savage's reliable Axis receiver architecture, this rifle features a 20-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel with 1/2x28 threading that allows quick mounting of suppressors, flash hiders, or other muzzle devices for noise mitigation and recoil management. The 5-round detachable magazine system and smooth AccuTrigger provide practical firearm control without excess weight, while the threaded barrel design—increasingly critical for modern tactical and hunting applications—enables shooters to configure the platform for their specific operational environment. At 9.8 pounds, the rifle maintains appropriate weight distribution for one-handed weapon manipulation during dynamic shooting scenarios while remaining manageable for all-day field work.

This platform performs optimally for shooters practicing modern rifle techniques, hunters pursuing medium game in tight terrain, and shooters in jurisdictions where .400 Legend ammunition availability and cost-effectiveness make frequent training feasible. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 suppressors and muzzle brakes, allowing integration with existing tactical systems. Savage Axis II receivers feature standardized picatinny rail integration points, enabling compatibility with modern optic mounting solutions—essential for hunters and tactical practitioners who demand precise shot placement beyond 100 yards. The compact 20-inch barrel length enhances maneuverability in vehicles, brush, and confined spaces while the .400 Legend cartridge delivers effective terminal ballistics with reduced over-penetration risk compared to traditional rifle rounds.
