The Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland .223 Rem 20-inch LH is a left-handed bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand consistent accuracy from a factory platform. Chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, this rifle combines a 20-inch heavy sporter threaded barrel with Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger and a one-piece 0 MOA rail, delivering repeatable performance straight from the box. The action is coated in Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote, and the synthetic stock uses a woodland camouflage pattern that stands up to field abuse. Detachable magazine configuration and a drilled-and-tapped receiver let you run optics and follow-up shots without hassle.

Key Features
- Adjustable AccuTrigger – Why it matters: You can dial trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 lbs without a gunsmith, giving you a crisp break that tightens groups at the line.
- 20-inch Heavy Sporter Threaded Barrel – Why it matters: The 1:9 twist stabilizes 55-69 grain bullets, and the threaded muzzle (5/8×24) lets you mount a brake or suppressor for recoil control and noise reduction.
- One-Piece 0 MOA Rail – Why it matters: Provides a solid, repeatable mounting surface for your optic—no shims needed, zero shift under recoil.
- Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote Finish – Why it matters: Resists corrosion and wear from sweat, rain, and muzzle blast, keeping your action looking tight and running smooth.
- Detachable Box Magazine – Why it matters: Reloads are faster than internal box designs, and the mag release is ambidextrous—handy for lefties running stages.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the left-handed competition shooter who wants a reliable .223 platform for PRS, NRL, or steel matches without dropping $1,500. It’s also for the precision enthusiast who needs a dedicated varmint or practice rifle that shoots factory ammo well. If you’re running stages where every split second counts, the detachable mag and AccuTrigger give you an edge.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: AccuTrigger is adjustable and crisp; threaded barrel accepts brakes/suppressors; Cerakote finish holds up; left-handed action cycles smooth; 0 MOA rail saves optic setup time.
- Cons: Stock is synthetic and can feel a bit flexy under heavy bipod load—consider a chassis upgrade if you’re shooting prone often. Magazine is polymer and may need a slight break-in.

FAQ
Does the Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland come with a scope?
No, this rifle ships without optics. The one-piece 0 MOA rail is installed, so you can mount your own scope or red dot directly.
What twist rate is the barrel?
1:9 twist, per manufacturer specs. This works best with 55-69 grain bullets, which covers most match and varmint loads.
Can I use 5.56 NATO ammo in this .223 Rem rifle?
Yes, the chamber is rated for both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO. I’d still stick with quality brass for match accuracy.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek rest?
No, the synthetic stock is fixed. If you need LOP or comb height adjustment, aftermarket chassis like the MDT or Oryx are direct-fit options.
What magazines does it use?
The detachable box magazine is proprietary to Savage Axis 2 rifles. It holds 4 rounds, but extended 10-rounders are available from Savage and aftermarket makers.
