If you shoot left-handed and want a compact rig that doesn’t skimp on accuracy, the Savage Axis 2 Pro Left-Hand Compact Rifle in 6mm ARC with a 20″ barrel is exactly what you’re looking for. This is a factory-built left-hand platform with a short 12.5″ length of pull, threaded heavy-sporter barrel, and an adjustable AccuTrigger — all wrapped in a durable Woodland camo synthetic stock. At $586.29, it’s a solid mid-range option for hunters and precision shooters who want a compact, shootable platform in a left-hand format. According to Savage specs, the one-piece 0 MOA rail is mounted at the factory, so you can drop a scope on and hit the range without extra gunsmithing.

Key Features
- Left-Hand Compact Action — Built for southpaws, with a short 12.5″ length of pull that fits smaller frames or layered clothing. Why it matters: no more fighting an action that works against your natural hand position, especially in tight hunting blinds or from a seated position at the range.
- Adjustable AccuTrigger — Lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 6 lbs without tools. Why it matters: a crisp, predictable trigger break means tighter groups and more confidence when that shot counts.
- 20″ Heavy-Sporter Threaded Barrel — 5/8×24 threads for mounting a suppressor or brake. Why it matters: reduces recoil and muzzle rise while keeping the barrel profile light enough for carry, with the option to run suppressed for quieter follow-up shots.
- Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote Finish — Applied to all metal components for corrosion resistance and a low-glare look. Why it matters: holds up against rain, sweat, and rough handling, so your rifle stays functional and looks good season after season.
- Factory-Mounted 0 MOA Rail — One-piece aluminum rail installed at the factory. Why it matters: saves you time and money on mounting hardware, and gives you a solid base for most modern scopes without any extra fitting.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed shooters who want a compact hunting or precision rifle without paying a premium for a custom build. It’s especially suited for younger shooters, women, or anyone with a shorter reach who needs a reduced length of pull. The 6mm ARC chambering makes it a great choice for varmint hunting, deer-sized game at moderate ranges, or steel targets out to 600 yards. If you’re a righty, this one isn’t for you — but if you shoot left, you know how rare a factory left-hand compact rifle is at this price point.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Left-hand action with compact stock; adjustable trigger; threaded barrel; factory rail; Cerakote finish; affordable for a left-hand bolt gun.
- Cons: Synthetic stock feels a bit hollow compared to higher-end chassis rifles; 0 MOA rail limits long-range elevation adjustment without a cantilever mount; 6mm ARC ammo can be harder to find than 6.5 Creedmoor or .223 Remington.

FAQ
Is this rifle available in a right-hand version?
No, this specific SKU is left-hand only. Savage does make right-hand Axis 2 Pro rifles in other configurations, but this compact model is built exclusively for left-handed shooters.
Can I mount a suppressor on this barrel?
Yes. The 20″ heavy-sporter barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for .30-caliber suppressors. A 6mm suppressor or a .30-cal can will work fine with a direct-thread mount.
What scope base does this rifle use?
The factory-mounted rail is a one-piece 0 MOA rail with 4-40 screw holes. It accepts standard Weaver-style rings or Picatinny-compatible mounts. You don’t need any additional base — just rings and a scope.
Is the AccuTrigger safe for field use?
Yes. The AccuTrigger has a built-in safety blade that prevents accidental discharge if the rifle is dropped or bumped. You can adjust the pull weight down to 2.5 lbs for precision work, but the blade must be depressed before the sear releases.
What is the effective range of 6mm ARC from this 20″ barrel?
With quality factory ammunition (like Hornady 108-gr ELD-M), you can expect sub-MOA accuracy and effective energy on deer-sized game out to 500 yards. For steel targets, you can push it to 700+ yards with good wind reading.
