Engineered for Dominance

1. 6.5 Creedmoor Superiority

The legendary 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge provides a remarkable balance of long-range capability, efficiency, and shooter comfort. With the right loads, it offers an effective range beyond 1,400 yards, making it ideal for precision shooting at extreme distances. Compared to the .308 Winchester, it delivers approximately 40 percent less wind drift, enhancing accuracy in challenging conditions. Despite its reach, recoil remains mild and is comparable to a .243 Win, allowing for longer shooting sessions without fatigue. Additionally, shooters can expect a barrel life exceeding 3,000 rounds before experiencing any notable accuracy degradation.

2. Precision Barrel Construction

The 22 inch heavy-contour barrel with a 1 in 8 twist rate is engineered for stability and precision across a wide range of bullet weights. It is button-rifled and cold hammer-forged to ensure consistent performance and long-term durability. The free-floated design helps eliminate point of impact shift, maintaining accuracy shot after shot. Additionally, the threaded muzzle with a 5 over 8 by 24 pitch allows for easy attachment of a muzzle brake or suppressor, enhancing shooting comfort and control.

3. AccuFit™ Chassis System

The stock of the Savage Axis II Precision XP features a fully adjustable length of pull (12.5 to 13.75 inches), allowing shooters to customize the fit for maximum comfort and control. It also includes interchangeable comb heights, enabling precise optic alignment for optimal sighting. The aluminum bedding block enhances stability, ensuring a solid foundation for consistent accuracy. Additionally, the M-LOK compatible forend provides flexibility for accessory mounting, allowing you to easily add bipods, lights, or other tactical gear to suit your needs.

4. Complete Ready-to-Shoot Package

The Savage Axis II Precision XP comes with a pre-mounted Bushnell 3-9x40mm scope, ensuring you’re ready for accurate shots right out of the box. Its Weaver-style base allows for easy upgrades to suit your specific needs. The rifle also features a 4-round detachable magazine, making reloading quick and efficient during intense shooting sessions. Additionally, each rifle is shipped with a factory test target, showcasing its impressive sub-MOA accuracy, ensuring you can rely on its precision performance. If you’re exploring other reliable rimfire options, the Rossi R7022 .22 LR  rifle is also worth considering.
