Description

Savage AXIS 2 Pro Western .22-250 Remington 20” 4rd Bolt Action Rifle

The Savage AXIS 2 Pro Western .22-250 Rem 20” 4rd is a factory-tuned varmint and predator rifle that punches well above its $571 price tag. Chambered in the flat-shooting .22-250 Remington, it pairs a 20-inch heavy sporter barrel with Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote and a Western camo synthetic stock. The AccuTrigger and threaded muzzle mean you can dial in pull weight and attach a brake or suppressor without a gunsmith.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger — why it matters: you can adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, eliminating creep and giving you a clean break at the line.
• 20-inch Heavy Sporter Barrel with Cerakote — why it matters: the heavy contour soaks up heat during rapid strings on prairie dogs, and the Gun Metal Bronze finish resists rust and glare in the field.
• Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28) — why it matters: screw on a suppressor or a muzzle brake to reduce recoil and noise without sending the barrel to a smith.
• Detachable 4-Round Magazine — why it matters: quick reloads between stands and safe unloading without cycling rounds through the chamber.
• One-Piece 0 MOA Rail — why it matters: a solid mounting platform for your scope that won’t shift under recoil; no need to buy aftermarket bases.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a dedicated varmint rig or a lightweight predator gun without dropping $1,200+. If you’re hunting coyotes in the West, punching paper at 300 yards, or popping groundhogs from a field edge, the .22-250 Remington gives you the flat trajectory and energy you need. It’s also a solid choice for the budget-minded competitor running a production-class rifle in PRS or NRL Hunter matches.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Adjustable AccuTrigger out of the box, threaded barrel for suppressors, Cerakote finish adds durability, lightweight at 7.2 lbs, detachable magazine for fast reloads.

Cons: The factory stock is functional but not as stiff as a chassis — you may want to bed the action or upgrade to a Boyd’s laminate for tighter groups. The 0 MOA rail limits long-range elevation unless you use a scope with plenty of internal adjustment.

Comparison: Savage AXIS 2 Pro Western vs. Timney-Triggered Remington 700 vs. Ruger American Predator

Feature	Savage AXIS 2 Pro Western	Remington 700 SPS Varmint	Ruger American Predator
Caliber	.22-250 Rem	.22-250 Rem	.22-250 Rem
Barrel Length	20”	26”	22”

Magazine	4-round detachable	4-round internal	4-round rotary
Price	$571	$750+ (with Timney)	$529

The Savage wins on value — you get a Cerakote barrel and an adjustable trigger for less than the Remington with a Timney. The Ruger is lighter but lacks the threaded barrel and Cerakote finish at this price point.

FAQ

Does the Savage AXIS 2 Pro Western come with a scope?

No, this rifle ships without optics. It includes a one-piece 0 MOA rail for mounting your own scope and rings.

What twist rate is the barrel?

The 20-inch barrel has a 1:12 twist rate, optimized for 50- to 55-grain .22-250 bullets common in varmint hunting.

Can I use this rifle for deer hunting?

The .22-250 Remington is legal for deer in some states, but it’s marginal on larger game. It’s best suited for varmints, predators, and target shooting.

Is the trigger user-adjustable without tools?

Yes, the AccuTrigger includes an adjustment screw accessible without disassembling the rifle. Turn it to set pull weight between 2.5 and 6 pounds.

Does the stock have a bedding block?

The synthetic stock uses a two-piece bedding system with aluminum pillars. It’s adequate for hunting accuracy but may benefit from full bedding for competition use.
