Savage Axis Compact | .223 Rem | 20-inch | MPN 57244

The Savage Axis Compact is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .223 Remington built with a compact synthetic stock for smaller shooters and straightforward, dependable operation. Its 20-inch button-rifled carbon-steel barrel and 4-round detachable box magazine keep the platform simple and practical for range use or field work. For optics, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 — a practical, all-purpose scope that is priced under $1000 and pairs well with this rifle for accuracy-oriented shooting.
