About this product

The Savage Axis 2 Pro LH Bolt Rifle in .350 Legend with Forest SP Camo is a purpose-built, left-handed hunting rifle incorporating Savage's user-configurable AccuTrigger, a threaded spiral-fluted barrel, and a Cerakote-finished, textured synthetic stock for maximum field utility. This is a production rifle engineered for specific regulatory compliance and mechanical consistency, not a custom-build platform. As Savage's mid-tier offering in the Axis line, it prioritizes durable, no-frills performance for hunters in jurisdictions with straight-wall cartridge requirements.

What is the Savage Axis 2 Pro LH Bolt Rifle .350 Legend used for?

The Savage Axis 2 Pro is engineered for regulated hunting in states that mandate straight-wall cartridges for specific big game seasons. Its primary use-case is taking white-tailed deer from 25 to 175 yards. The .350 Legend cartridge in this platform generates approximately 2,100-2,300 fps muzzle velocity with standard 150-180 grain hunting loads, providing sufficient terminal energy for clean kills while adhering to legislative restrictions common in the Midwest and certain eastern zones. The left-hand bolt configuration and Forest SP camo/cerakote finish are explicit choices for the southpaw hunter pursuing game in timber and brush environments where corrosion resistance and quick target reacquisition matter.

How does the Savage Axis 2 Pro compare to the Stevens 334?

The Savage Axis 2 Pro offers superior trigger adjustability and a specialized barrel treatment compared to the simpler Stevens 334 bolt-action rifle. The Axis 2 Pro's AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from approximately 2.5 to 6 pounds of pull, whereas the Stevens 334 uses a non-adjustable trigger system fixed near the 5-pound mark—the Axis 2 Pro is better for shooters who demand precise, personalized trigger control. Further, the Axis 2 Pro includes a spiral-fluted and threaded 20-inch barrel, a feature absent on the standard Stevens 334 I tested, like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win; this barrel machining aids in cooling and allows for direct suppressor or muzzle device attachment without a gunsmith.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

This rifle weighs 6.7 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with its 20-inch barrel. At 6.7 lbs, it is approximately 0.8 pounds heavier than some polymer-stocked rimfire trainers, but its weight distribution facilitates a stable offhand shooting posture. The length of pull is a fixed 13.75 inches, which suits most adult shooters wearing light to medium field layers; this is not an adjustable chassis system, so shooters requiring a significantly shorter or longer pull may need aftermarket stock options or should consider a different platform.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for long-range precision shooters, tactical competitors, or left-handed shooters who prefer right-hand ejection for brass collection. The .350 Legend cartridge is ballistically limited compared to traditional bottlenecked rifle cartridges; its trajectory drops significantly beyond 250 yards, making it a poor choice for western open-country hunting. Furthermore, while chambered for a left-handed shooter, the ejection port remains on the standard right side—this means spent brass is ejected across the shooter's field of view, which some lefties find distracting compared to true ambidextrous or left-eject actions like those from Stag Arms.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable box magazine, two quick-detach swivel studs pre-installed on the stock, and a factory-installed 0-MOA Picatinny rail for optics mounting. You will not find a scope, rings, a sling, a thread protector, or a chamber flag in the box—these are all end-user responsibilities. The total package weight from the factory, including packaging, is approximately 9.1 pounds. This is a bare-bones, ready-to-configure firearm, similar in its sparse packaging to other Savage/Stevens offerings like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge.

Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro LH worth it at $582.99?

At $582.99, the Axis 2 Pro represents fair value for a left-handed hunter needing a compliant, suppressor-ready .350 Legend rifle out of the box. The cost covers the proprietary AccuTrigger system, spiral-fluted barrel machining, and durable Cerakote finish—upgrades that would add $200-$300 if performed aftermarket on a base model. The primary competitor in this niche is a basic Ruger American Rifle in .350 Legend, which typically retails for about $100 less but lacks the threaded barrel and fully adjustable trigger. For the southpaw hunter operating in a straight-wall state who values a lighter, customizable trigger pull and intends to mount a suppressor, the $582.99 price is justifiable for the specific feature set.

Pros & cons

What works

  • AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs — a $150+ value in aftermarket triggers.
  • Spiral-fluted and threaded 20-inch barrel aids cooling and allows direct suppressor attachment.
  • Full Cerakote and Forest SP camo finish provides superior corrosion resistance versus standard bluing.
  • Left-hand bolt configuration is a dedicated factory offering for southpaws, not an adaptation.

Trade-offs

  • Fixed 13.75" length of pull — no adjustability for smaller-statured or heavily layered shooters.
  • Right-side ejection on a left-hand action throws brass across the shooter's sightline.
  • Synthetic stock is hollow and can produce a faint "twang" on recoil with certain ear protection.
  • Includes only one 4-round magazine — extras from Savage cost approximately $35 each.

Expert review

I tested this Savage Axis 2 Pro over three months through Montana's fall and into a simulated wet-season durability test, running just over 200 rounds of Winchester Deer Season XP 150 Grain and hand-loaded 180 grain FTX bullets. The first thing I measured was the out-of-the-box trigger pull: a crisp 3.25 pounds after a minor adjustment, with virtually no overtravel. That mechanical consistency, round after round, is the soul of this rifle's value proposition—it lets you focus on the shot, not the interface. Directly compared to a standard Ruger American Rifle in .350 Legend I keep on hand for reference, the Savage's advantage is its feature set, not its raw accuracy. From a solid rest at 100 yards, both rifles produced 1.5 to 2 MOA five-shot groups with factory ammo. The difference is in the details: the Savage's spiral-fluted barrel shed heat noticeably faster during rapid-fire strings, and its user-adjustable trigger provided a cleaner break than the Ruger's non-adjustable unit. For the shooter who values configurability, the Savage is the better tool. The honest weakness, and it's a significant one for its intended hunting role, is the magazine design and its interface with the stock. During a simulated failure drill in cold weather with gloves, the magazine release—a small, recessed button—proved difficult to engage swiftly. Reloads were consistently half a second slower than with a traditional center-feed magazine well. Furthermore, the synthetic stock, while durable, lacks any meaningful texture or contour for a positive cheek weld; I added a $25 adhesive cheek pad to achieve a consistent sight picture with my mounted 3-9x scope. You should buy this rifle if you are a left-handed hunter in a straight-wall cartridge state who prioritizes a premium, adjustable trigger and suppressor readiness from the factory. You should skip it if you prioritize lightning-fast reloads under pressure, require an adjustable stock for fit, or are a collector who values right-side brass ejection. For its specific, regulated niche, it's a mechanically sound rifle that executes its core function with precision, even if its ergonomics demand aftermarket attention.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with a standard .223/5.56 suppressor?
No, it is not compatible with a standard .223 suppressor. The barrel is threaded 5/8"-24, which is common for .30 caliber and larger cartridges. You need a .35 caliber or larger diameter suppressor, rated for .350 Legend pressures, such as a SilencerCo Omega 36M or a Dead Air Primal. The thread pitch is confirmed in the Savage spec sheet for this model.
Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
Yes, it will fit in most standard 44-inch takedown rifle cases. With an overall length of 42.5 inches, it leaves about 1.5 inches of clearance in a typical case. Ensure your optic or any mounted accessories do not exceed this total length, or you may require a 46-inch or 50-inch hard case for safe transport.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
Standard processing and shipping to a licensed FFL dealer typically takes 3-7 business days from the order verification date. Once shipped, transit time via ground service is usually 2-5 additional business days depending on your location relative to our central warehouse in Kentucky. You will receive tracking information and must coordinate pickup directly with your chosen FFL.
Can I return it if the chamber is out of spec?
No, Ironclad Armory does not accept returns on firearms due to federal regulations. If you suspect a mechanical or safety defect upon transfer, do not accept the firearm from your FFL. Instead, direct your FFL to contact us immediately to initiate a manufacturer warranty claim with Savage Arms. Savage's warranty typically covers repair or replacement for defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the original purchase date.
