Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Threaded 4rd
Pros & cons
What works
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5-4 pounds—lighter than Stevens 334's fixed 5-7 pound pull
- 20-inch threaded barrel ready for suppressors without additional gunsmithing
- 6.8-pound weight balances well for off-hand shooting positions
- Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote resists corrosion 3x longer than blued finishes
Trade-offs
- 4-round magazine capacity limits practical use in tactical competitions
- Fixed synthetic stock lacks adjustable cheek riser or length-of-pull—adds $150-300 for aftermarket
- No iron sights included—requires immediate optics investment of $200+ for basic functionality

About this product
The Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Threaded 4rd is a factory-ready precision hunting rifle that combines Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger system with a heavy sporter barrel and suppressor-ready threading. This bolt-action platform ships with a one-piece 0 MOA rail pre-installed and features precision thread-in headspacing for consistent lockup. The entire action receives Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote protection while the synthetic stock wears Woodland camo with enhanced texturing.
What is the Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland used for?
This rifle is optimized for medium-range hunting applications where shot placement matters more than rapid follow-up capability. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering delivers flat trajectory with minimal recoil, making it particularly effective for deer and antelope at distances up to 400 yards. The threaded 20-inch heavy sporter barrel maintains accuracy while allowing suppressor attachment where legally permissible.
How does the Savage Axis 2 Pro compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Axis 2 Pro outperforms the Stevens 334 in trigger quality and out-of-the-box accuracy potential. While both rifles share similar price points and dimensions, the Savage's AccuTrigger system offers clean 2.5-4 pound user-adjustable pull weights versus the Stevens' fixed 5-7 pound trigger. The Axis 2 Pro also includes a factory-installed Picatinny rail, adding $50-75 value compared to the drilled-and-tapped receiver on the Stevens.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs exactly 6.8 pounds unloaded and measures 40.5 inches in overall length. The 20-inch barrel features a 5/8×24 thread pattern compatible with most modern suppressors and muzzle brakes. The detachable magazine holds 4 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, balancing hunting regulations with practical capacity.
Who is this NOT for?
This configuration isn't suitable for tactical competitions requiring rapid magazine changes or extended shooting sessions. The 4-round magazine capacity falls short of PRS-style events where 10-round magazines are standard. The fixed synthetic stock also lacks adjustment features that serious long-range shooters demand for proper cheek weld and length-of-pull customization.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable box magazine and the factory-installed one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes thread protectors for the muzzle but omits scope mounting hardware—plan on purchasing quality rings or a cantilever mount separately. The entire package weighs approximately 9 pounds in its shipping container.
Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro worth it at $566.99?
At this price point, the Axis 2 Pro delivers exceptional value for hunters needing sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing. The combination of adjustable trigger, threaded barrel, and durable Cerakote finish would cost $200-300 more if added to a base model rifle. For shooters who appreciate the Stevens 555 Sporting's reliability but need centerfire precision, this represents a logical step up in performance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with suppressor attachments?
- Yes, the 20-inch barrel features 5/8×24 threading compatible with most 6.5mm suppressors. Always verify local NFA regulations before attaching suppressors—thread protector removal requires 3/4-inch wrench.
- Does it come with scope mounts installed?
- The one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail is factory-installed, but you'll need separate rings or a cantilever mount. We recommend Warne or Leupold mounts for optimal stability with this platform.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments typically process within 2 business days and transit in 3-5 additional days via UPS Ground. Rural deliveries may add 1-2 days—contact your receiving FFL for exact timing.
- Can I return it if the accuracy is unsatisfactory?
- Savage's accuracy guarantee requires testing with factory ammunition—returns require documented 3-shot groups at 100 yards. Most users achieve 1.25-1.5 MOA with Federal Premium 140gr ammunition.
- Does this work with aftermarket stocks?
- The Axis II action accepts Boyd's and MDT chassis systems starting at $250. Stock replacement requires basic gunsmithing tools and typically takes 15-20 minutes for experienced installers.
