Savage Axis 2 XP Compact 350 Legend LH 18″ Green

The Savage Axis 2 XP Compact 350 Legend LH 18″ Green is a left-handed bolt-action hunting rifle that delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential straight from the box, chambered in the straight-wall .350 Legend. This compact setup pairs an 18-inch sporter barrel with a green synthetic stock and a factory-mounted, boresighted 3-9×40 scope, giving you a lightweight, ready-to-hunt platform for tight cover or smaller-framed shooters. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable for a crisp break, and the matte blued metal finish sheds glare in the field.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger: User-adjustable trigger pull from 2.5 to 6 lbs — lets you dial in a clean break without a gunsmith, improving shot consistency at distance.
• Factory-Mounted 3-9×40 Scope: Boresighted and ready to zero — saves you $100–$200 on glass and mount hardware, so you can hit the range immediately.
• 18-Inch Sporter Barrel: Shorter length reduces weight and improves maneuverability in brush or ground blinds, while still maintaining enough velocity for ethical deer shots inside 200 yards.
• Left-Hand Action: Dedicated left-handed bolt throw and ejection port — no awkward reaching over the receiver, which speeds up follow-up shots for southpaws.
• Green Synthetic Stock: Weather-resistant and lightweight, with a textured grip surface — won’t warp in rain or snow, and the color blends into wooded environments.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the left-handed hunter who needs a compact, straight-wall platform for deer or hog hunting in states with restricted cartridge laws. It’s also ideal for smaller-framed shooters, youth, or anyone who wants a low-recoil option in .350 Legend without sacrificing accuracy. If you’re a right-handed shooter, look elsewhere — this is strictly a southpaw rig.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: AccuTrigger gives you a repeatable, crisp pull right out of the box — no aftermarket trigger needed.
• Pro: Included scope and rings cut your upfront cost; the 3-9×40 is adequate for typical hunting ranges.
• Pro: Left-hand action is rare at this price point — most LH rifles cost $200+ more.
• Con: The factory scope is entry-level glass — low-light performance is mediocre, and you may want to upgrade to a higher-end optic for serious precision work.
• Con: The synthetic stock has a bit of flex under heavy bipod load; bed the action or swap to a chassis if you’re chasing true 1/2-MOA groups.

FAQ

Is this rifle actually left-handed, or just a right-hand action with a left-hand stock?

It’s a true left-hand action — the bolt handle, ejection port, and bolt release are all reversed for left-handed operation. The stock is also molded for a left-hand cheek weld.

What scope rings come with the Savage Axis 2 XP Compact?

The rifle ships with factory-installed Weaver-style rings that fit the included 3-9×40 scope. They’re 1-inch diameter rings, so if you swap optics, make sure your new scope uses 1-inch tubes.

Can I use this for deer hunting in straight-wall cartridge states?

Yes. .350 Legend is legal in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and other states that restrict deer hunting to straight-wall cartridges. The 18-inch barrel keeps it handy for thick cover.

How does the AccuTrigger adjust?

Remove the bolt, insert a 1/16-inch hex key into the trigger blade’s adjustment screw, and turn clockwise to increase pull weight or counterclockwise to decrease it. The range is 2.5 to 6 lbs per Savage specs.

Does this model come with a detachable box magazine?

No, the Axis 2 XP Compact uses a fixed internal magazine with a hinged floorplate. Capacity is 4+1 rounds in .350 Legend.
