About this product
The Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland .25-06 Rem 20in Threaded is a production bolt-action hunting rifle built for suppressor-ready medium game work with a heavy-sporter barrel and Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger system. This isn't a custom shop offering—it's an off-the-shelf tool designed to deliver sub-MOA accuracy without benchrest price tags. The Woodland camo synthetic stock and Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote finish are practical choices for all-weather field use, not showpiece embellishments.
What is the Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland .25-06 Rem 20in Threaded used for?
This rifle is built for deer and antelope hunting at ranges out to 400 yards, where the .25-06 Remington cartridge shines. The 20-inch heavy sporter barrel provides stiffness for consistent accuracy while keeping overall weight manageable at 6.8 pounds. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes, making it ideal for hunters in states where canned rifles are legal.
How does the Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Axis 2 Pro delivers superior trigger performance with its user-adjustable AccuTrigger versus the Stevens 334's basic factory trigger. While both rifles share similar weight profiles around 6.8 pounds, the Axis 2 Pro's heavier barrel contour provides better heat management during extended range sessions. For hunters who prioritize shot placement over raw power, the .25-06's flatter trajectory makes it the better choice for open-country shooting beyond 300 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs exactly 6.8 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches overall with its 20-inch barrel. The synthetic stock has a length of pull of 13.75 inches, accommodating most adult shooters without modification. The threaded barrel adds 0.625 inches to the muzzle diameter, requiring suppressor mounts with adequate internal clearance.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for tight-budget hunters who prioritize absolute minimum weight—the the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic shaves half a pound for similar money. It's also poor choice for left-handed shooters, as the bolt handle is right-side only. The .25-06 cartridge generates noticeable recoil—roughly 18 foot-pounds—making it unsuitable for new shooters or those sensitive to kick.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle, one 4-round detachable box magazine, and the factory manual—no optics, rings, or thread protector included. The action comes pre-drilled and tapped with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail already installed. Total package weight shipped is approximately 9 pounds including packaging materials.
Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro Woodland worth it at $556.99?
At $556.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for hunters needing suppressor-ready capability without custom gunsmithing costs. The Cerakote finish alone would add $200+ to a bare rifle, while the AccuTrigger system outperforms triggers on competitors like the Ruger American.
