Savage Arms Axis 2 Pro 6.5 Creedmoor 20" 5-Round Rifle

The Savage Arms Axis 2 Pro Compact Western 6.5 Creedmoor 4+1 20" Right Hand rifle delivers precision and handling in a purpose-built compact platform designed for hunters and shooters who demand a lightweight, maneuverable rifle without sacrificing ballistic performance. This rifle targets shooters who navigate dense terrain, hunt in mountainous regions, or prefer reduced recoil impulse during extended shooting sessions. The compact Western profile keeps overall length manageable while maintaining the ballistic advantages of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge—a modern round prized for extended-range accuracy and terminal performance on medium to large game.

Built on Savage's proven Axis 2 action, this rifle features a 20-inch barrel that balances velocity retention with portability, resulting in a total weight of 9.8 lbs—ideal for all-day carry in rugged conditions. The right-hand configuration accommodates conventional shooters with ergonomic safety and bolt manipulation. The 4+1 magazine capacity (four rounds in the detachable box magazine plus one in the chamber) provides practical firepower for hunting applications while keeping the platform streamlined. Savage's crisp, adjustable AccuTrigger system ensures consistent trigger pull geometry, enhancing shot-to-shot accuracy. The Western-contoured stock reduces weight further and pairs with the short action to create a rifle that handles quickly without sacrificing stability.

This rifle suits hunters pursuing elk, deer, and other medium to large game across varied terrain, as well as target shooters exploring the 6.5 Creedmoor's precision capabilities. The compact format makes it accessible to hunters of varying stature and physical capability, while the 20-inch barrel delivers sufficient velocity for effective hunting ranges beyond 300 yards. Right-hand operation and the standard Savage platform ensure compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket stocks, rails, optic mounts, and ammunition. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering simplifies ammunition sourcing, as this cartridge enjoys widespread availability and proven real-world performance across North American hunting applications.
