Sav Axis 2 .300 Blackout 16.125" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Savage Arms Axis II Compact 300 Blackout rifle is a bolt-action platform engineered for shooters demanding precision in intermediate-to-close-range engagements. Built on Savage's proven Axis II action, this compact rifle features a 16.125-inch heavy sporter contour barrel optimized for subsonic and supersonic 300 Blackout performance. The matte finish across the steel components and gray polymer stock resists corrosion and reflectivity in field conditions, while the 4-round capacity supports standard tactical magazine compatibility. This configuration delivers the ballistic signature and handling characteristics preferred by operators working within urban or vehicular environments where barrel length directly affects maneuverability.

The 300 Blackout cartridge operates efficiently across a broader velocity range than most rifle calibers, meaning subsonic loads (below 1,125 fps) maintain supersonic stability while generating reduced muzzle signature—a critical advantage for suppressed setups. The heavy sporter barrel provides the mass needed to manage recoil impulse and harmonics, directly improving shot-to-shot consistency at distance. One included magazine ships with the rifle; additional 300 Blackout magazines remain widely available from aftermarket suppliers. The gray polymer stock offers reliable performance across temperature extremes and wet environments without the weight penalty of traditional wood or aluminum furniture.

This compact Axis II is purpose-built for shooters who require a short-action rifle for patrol loadouts, designated marksman roles within vehicle platforms, or training environments where full-length rifle handling isn't practical. Law enforcement, military reserve components, and civilian tactical shooters have adopted 300 Blackout platforms for intermediate-distance accuracy without the noise signature or muzzle blast of larger calibers. The bolt-action mechanism provides absolute mechanical reliability and straightforward field maintenance. Savage's reputation for action strength and accuracy-from-the-factory specifications positions the Axis II as a credible platform in the precision rifle category.
