Savage Axis II XP 22678 | 6.5 Creedmoor | 22″ Barrel

The Savage Axis II XP (model 22678) is a bolt-action package rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22″ button-rifled carbon steel barrel and a hardwood sporter stock. It ships factory-mounted and boresighted with a Bushnell 3-9×40 scope and includes Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger for a consistent trigger feel. This configuration is intended for field use and precision-oriented shooting at moderate ranges.

For an aftermarket optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this rifle, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 riflescope for reliable glass and a familiar 3-9x range that complements the 6.5 Creedmoor’s effective distances.
