Detailed Features 

 
The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable for pull weight, a useful feature for accuracy, and one that lets you fine-tune the rifle rather than accepting a one-size-fits-all factory setting. 
 
The 18-inch barrel keeps the overall length to 37.5 inches. That's a real benefit in dense woods or a tree stand where a longer barrel gets in the way. The green synthetic stock handles weather without issue and improves grip when wet. Integral swivel studs are included for a sling. 
 
The four-round detachable box magazine drops free cleanly and reloads without fumbling. 
 

Usage 

 
The .350 Legend is well-suited for deer and medium game at typical timber ranges. The compact dimensions make it easier to swing on a target in tight quarters. The matte black finish and green stock combination keeps a low profile in field conditions.

Owners of the Savage Axis 2 Compact in .350 Legend with the green stock tend to be satisfied, particularly those coming at it from a budget or as a first hunting rifle.

The compact design is mentioned frequently as a practical advantage. It's easier to handle for younger or smaller shooters, and the shorter overall length works well in confined hunting situations.

The .350 Legend caliber is praised for deer hunting. Recoil is described as manageable by most users, which makes the rifle accessible to a wider range of shooters.

Build quality and reliability get positive marks overall, and the green synthetic stock with matte black finish combination is generally well-received.

One repeated concern is the factory-installed scope or sights. A number of owners find them adequate but suggest that upgrading to better optics makes a noticeable difference in performance. The AccuTrigger is appreciated for the ability to customize pull weight.
