The Savage Axis XP picks up from the Edge XP phenomena with the same great features that have made it a favourite among Canadian shooters. The silky smooth bolt operation, dual pillar bedding, rugged composite stock available in black and 22-inch matte finish free-floating barrel in stainless steel all combine to deliver reliable performance in any weather. Add to that the convenient four-round detachable magazine, mounted and boresighted black matte 3-9x40mm riflescope and you have perhaps the best-in-class entry level stainless steel barrel rifle combo ever produced.
