Savage AXIS 2 Compact .300 AAC Blackout Left-Hand 16.13 in

The Savage AXIS 2 Compact .300 AAC Blackout Left-Hand 16.13 in delivers a purpose-built platform for left-handed shooters who need a compact, subsonic-capable bolt gun without sacrificing precision. Chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, this rifle pairs a 16.13-inch heavy sporter carbon steel barrel with a threaded muzzle (5/8×24 TPI) for suppressor or brake mounting, and ships with a fixed gray synthetic sporter stock, the adjustable AccuTrigger, and a single 4-round detachable magazine for 4+1 capacity. The receiver is drilled and tapped with 1-piece 0 MOA scope bases, so you can mount optics immediately.

Key Features

• Adjustable AccuTrigger – Factory-set at 2.5–6 lbs, this trigger eliminates creep and overtravel, giving you a crisp break that reduces group size variation at 100 yards.
• Left-Hand Action – The bolt handle and ejection port are reversed for southpaw shooters, so you keep your firing grip without breaking cheek weld during cycling.
• 16.13-Inch Heavy Sporter Barrel – The shorter length and heavier contour improve rigidity and heat dissipation while keeping the rifle compact for suppressed use; twist rate is 1:8 for stabilizing 220-grain subsonic loads.
• Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24 TPI) – Factory-threaded for direct-mount suppressors or muzzle brakes, with a protective cap included; essential for running .300 BLK subsonic ammo quietly.
• 1-Piece 0 MOA Scope Bases – Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard Savage short-action bases, so you can mount a scope without aftermarket modifications—zero MOA is ideal for short-range .300 BLK shooting.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the left-handed long-range shooter who wants a compact .300 AAC Blackout bolt gun for hunting, suppressed plinking, or tactical training. It suits anyone who needs a lightweight, sub-MOA platform that runs subsonic and supersonic loads reliably. If you’re a right-handed shooter, look elsewhere—this action is asymmetrically left-hand only.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Left-hand bolt is rare at this price point; AccuTrigger is adjustable out of the box; threaded barrel for suppressor use; compact 16.13-inch barrel keeps overall length short; 1:8 twist stabilizes heavy subsonic bullets.
• Cons: Fixed synthetic stock limits length-of-pull adjustment and cheek height; 4-round magazine capacity is low for competition; 0 MOA bases require a scope with enough internal elevation for longer shots—not ideal for 300-yard+ supersonic work.
