SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 PRO FOR 400LEG 18″ LH

The Savage Arms Axis 2 Pro for 400LEG 18″ LH is a left-handed precision rifle built for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy straight from the box. Chambered in .400 Legend, this 18-inch barreled action delivers flat trajectories and hard-hitting terminal performance on medium game. With the AccuTrigger and a threaded muzzle, it’s ready for a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith visit. This is a production rifle that punches above its price point.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger: Adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs. Why it matters: You can dial out creep and overtravel for consistent break—critical for 400-yard shots on deer or steel.
• Threaded Muzzle (5/8-24): Factory-threaded for direct-mount suppressors or muzzle brakes. Why it matters: No gunsmith cost, no threading wait—just attach and shoot with reduced recoil and signature.
• Left-Hand Action: True mirror-image bolt and ejection port. Why it matters: Lefties don’t have to break cheek weld to cycle—keeps your eye on target for follow-ups.
• Free-Floated Barrel: Barrel contacts only at the receiver. Why it matters: Prevents stock pressure from shifting point of impact as the barrel heats up over a 10-round string.
• 18-Inch Barrel: Compact length for maneuverability in brush or blind. Why it matters: Shorter barrel still retains enough velocity for .400 Legend to expand reliably inside 200 yards.

Who It’s For

This rifle targets the left-handed hunter who wants a dedicated .400 Legend platform for whitetail, hogs, or black bear inside 200 yards. It also suits the precision shooter who wants to test .400 Legend’s ballistic potential with a suppressor—without spending $1,200+ on a custom build. If you’re a right-hander, look elsewhere; this is a true lefty action.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box—verified by hundreds of users on 100-yard groups.
• Pro: AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers under $600.
• Pro: Threaded barrel saves you $50-100 in gunsmithing fees.
• Con: The synthetic stock is functional but not chassis-rigid; you’ll feel flex under bipod load. A $150 Boyd’s stock upgrade fixes it.

FAQ

Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro for 400LEG 18″ LH compatible with standard .400 Legend ammunition?

Yes—it’s chambered to SAAMI .400 Legend specifications. Use any factory .400 Legend load from manufacturers like Winchester, Hornady, or Federal. Avoid handloads that exceed SAAMI pressure limits.

Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle without modification?

Yes. The 18-inch barrel comes factory-threaded 5/8-24. Attach any .30-cal or .45-cal suppressor rated for .400 Legend pressures. A direct-thread mount or QD adapter works.

How does the AccuTrigger adjust on this model?

Use the included Allen wrench to turn the adjustment screw inside the trigger shoe. Turn clockwise for heavier pull, counterclockwise for lighter. Range is 2.5 to 6 lbs. Always test with a snap cap after adjustment.

Is this rifle accurate enough for hunting at 200 yards?

Yes. The free-floated barrel and AccuTrigger combine for consistent 1-1.5 MOA groups with quality .400 Legend ammo. That’s 2-3 inch groups at 200 yards—plenty for a 6-inch vital zone on deer or hogs.

What’s the difference between this Axis 2 Pro and the standard Axis 2?

The Pro model includes the threaded barrel and a more refined AccuTrigger adjustment range. The standard Axis 2 lacks the threaded muzzle and has a fixed trigger pull around 5 lbs.
