The Savage Axis XP is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm-08 Remington with a 20-inch threaded barrel finished in matte black. It has a black synthetic stock, a detachable 4-round box magazine, and a two-position safety, and it comes with a factory-mounted, boresighted 3-9x40 scope for a ready-to-use setup. The rifle is set up as a right-hand action with an overall length of 40.50 inches, which keeps it a manageable size for most hunters.
