Savage AXIS II XP | 57097 | .270 Win | 22″ Barrel

The Savage AXIS II XP is a bolt-action hunting rifle offered as a ready-to-hunt package with a factory-mounted Bushnell Banner 3-9×40 scope. It ships with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a composite stock, and the factory package emphasizes out-of-the-box accuracy and ergonomics for field use. This package is suited to medium-game hunting and precision field shooting where a compact 22″ barrel and a 3-9x optic deliver a practical balance of handling and reach.

For users who prefer an alternative optic under $1,000, the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 is a compatible, budget-conscious choice that pairs well with this platform.
