Savage Axis 2 Pro Forest SP Camo .350 Legend Rifle, 4-Round
About this product
The Savage Axis 2 Pro Forest SP Camo .350 Legend Rifle, 4-Round is a bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for regulated hunting zones, equipped with a user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a suppressor-ready threaded barrel. It is designed as a purpose-built tool for specific game and jurisdictional compliance, not as a general-purpose rifle. For hunters facing straight-wall cartridge restrictions or managing recoil sensitivity, this platform offers a calculated solution.
What is the Savage Axis 2 Pro .350 Legend used for?
The Savage Axis 2 Pro in .350 Legend is specifically engineered for hunting medium-sized game within regulated straight-wall cartridge zones, such as whitetail deer in states like Ohio and Michigan. Its 4-round magazine capacity is the standard for many hunting jurisdictions, and the threaded, spiral-fluted barrel with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail provides immediate suppressor and optic compatibility for an enhanced field setup. This rifle's 6.7 lb weight and 42.5-inch overall length deliver a balance of stability for follow-up shots and maneuverability in dense cover.
How does the Savage Axis 2 Pro compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Axis 2 Pro is better for compliant hunting in restrictive zones, while the Stevens 334 .308 Win is objectively the more versatile and powerful rifle for general use. The .350 Legend cartridge generates roughly 1,350 lbs of recoil energy compared to the .308 Winchester's 2,750 lbs, making the Axis 2 Pro a gentler option for extended range sessions. However, the .308 Winchester's flatter trajectory and greater effective range make the Stevens 334 superior for hunting in open terrain beyond 250 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.7 lbs (108.9 oz or 3.04 kg) and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with a 22-inch threaded barrel. Unloaded, the rifle balances approximately 5.5 inches forward of the magazine well. For storage, the package shipped by Ironclad Armory requires a box with interior dimensions of at least 48 x 9 x 3 inches to accommodate the factory hard case and documentation.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for shooters who need a high-volume, multi-role platform for target shooting or home defense. The .350 Legend cartridge and 4-round magazine are legally mandated for hunting compliance, not for tactical response. It is also a poor choice for western hunters regularly engaging elk or mule deer beyond 300 yards, who would be better served by a magnum cartridge in a heavier, more precisely bedded action like a chassis system.
What's in the box?
The standard factory package includes one Savage Axis 2 Pro rifle in .350 Legend, one detachable 4-round steel magazine, and a one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail already installed. Ironclad Armory ships this in a hard plastic rifle case with a 72-hour interior silica gel desiccant pouch to prevent cosmoline or preservative oil degradation during transit. You will not receive a scope, rings, or a bore snake.
Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro worth it at $582.99?
At $582.99, the Axis 2 Pro is worth it if you are legally required to hunt with a straight-wall cartridge and value the factory-installed suppressor-ready features. The included AccuTrigger, Picatinny rail, spiral-fluted barrel, and Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote represent approximately $275 in post-purchase gunsmithing work if added to a base model Axis. For a casual shooter unrestricted by cartridge laws, a Stevens 334 in .243 Win offers more versatile performance at a similar price point without the specialized barrel threading and camo stock.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the barrel is factory-threaded ½-28 TPI. This thread pitch is standard for .350 Legend and compatible with most pistol-caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Always verify your suppressor's thread specs and bore diameter with the manufacturer before mounting.
- Will this rifle accept aftermarket stocks?
- Yes, the Axis II Pro uses Savage’s standard short-action footprint. However, the synthetic Forest SP stock is pillar-bedded; swapping to an aftermarket stock or chassis may require purchasing new bottom metal or magazine well adapters, a process taking a competent gunsmith about 60-90 minutes.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms within 2 business days. Transit time via FedEx Ground to a continental US FFL is typically 4-7 business days. You must contact your chosen FFL for their transfer fee and procedures before placing your order.
- Can I return the rifle if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final upon transfer from the FFL due to Federal regulations. Ironclad Armory will accept returns for un-fired rifles with all original packaging if a defect is reported within 3 days of you taking possession from your FFL, but only for exchange or store credit, not a cash refund.
- Does this work with a standard .350 Legend reloading die set?
- Yes, the chamber is cut to SAAMI specifications for .350 Legend. You can use any standard .350 Legend reloading die set from manufacturers like RCBS or Hornady. Be mindful of the cartridge's maximum overall length of 2.260 inches during reloading to ensure proper feeding from the detachable magazine.
