Key Specs – Savage Axis 2 Pro Compact .243 Win Left-Hand 32345
Built for Left-Handed Hunters & Growing Shooters
True left-hand rifles are still rare, especially in budget-friendly hunting guns. The Axis 2 Pro Compact 32345 is configured from the ground up for left-handed shooters:
Bolt handle and ejection are oriented for southpaws, making cycling natural and fast.
Compact length of pull and shorter overall length make it ideal for younger hunters, women, and smaller-framed adults who want a rifle that actually fits. Vizard's Guns and Ammo+1
The result is better gun handling, more consistent mounting, and improved accuracy—because the rifle finally matches the shooter instead of the other way around.
Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote & Western Camo – Built to Beat the Elements
The Axis 2 Pro Compact isn’t just about performance; it’s built to survive hard hunting seasons:
Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote on the heavy sporter barrel and steel receiver adds a tough, corrosion-resistant finish that shrugs off rain, snow, and brush. Fleet Farm+2Vizard's Guns and Ammo+2
The synthetic stock wears Savage’s Western camo pattern, blending naturally into prairie grass, high desert, and open-country terrain. Savage Arms+1
Together, the Cerakote metalwork and Western camo stock create a rifle that looks as good as it performs—and won’t quit when weather turns ugly.
Heavy Sporter Threaded Barrel for Accuracy & Suppressor-Ready Versatility
This Axis 2 Pro Compact model uses a 20" heavy sporter contour barrel, giving you more rigidity than a pencil barrel without the bulk of a full heavy varmint profile. Fleet Farm+2Black Market Arms+2
Advantages of the heavy sporter barrel:
Better heat resistance and stability for repeated shots at the range or during a busy evening in the stand.
Improved consistency and accuracy, especially in .243 Win where flat trajectories shine.
Threaded muzzle (with thread protector) makes it easy to add a suppressor or muzzle brake, increasing comfort and reducing recoil and blast. Sportsman's Warehouse+2Shadow Tactical+2
For hunters who want a compact rifle that can run suppressed or tuned with a brake, this barrel checks all the boxes.
AccuTrigger & Thread-In Headspacing – Savage Accuracy Built In
Savage built its reputation on out-of-the-box accuracy, and the Axis 2 Pro Compact carries that tradition forward:
User-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you safely set trigger pull weight to your preference, helping you break shots cleanly without disturbing your sight picture. Sportsman's Warehouse+2Savage Arms+2
Thread-in headspacing (the same system used on higher-end Savage rifles) ensures precise barrel-to-action alignment, a critical factor in consistent accuracy. Field & Stream+2GunsAmerica+2
These design choices mean that even as a “budget” rifle, the Axis 2 Pro Compact is capable of tack-driving performance with the right glass and ammunition.
Picatinny Rail & Updated Bolt Handle – Ready for Optics & Gloves
Savage makes getting into the field simple by including common-sense upgrades from the factory:
Out of the box, this left-hand .243 is optic-ready and field-ready—just mount your scope, confirm zero, and go hunt.
Compact Western Camo Synthetic Stock – Lightweight & Field-Friendly
The fixed Western camo synthetic stock on the Axis 2 Pro Compact is designed with hunters in mind:
Rugged polymer construction handles dings, drops, and rough truck rides better than traditional wood. Palmetto State Armory+1
Compact dimensions and lighter weight (approx. 6.7 lbs overall) make it easier to carry all day, especially for younger or smaller shooters. Vizard's Guns and Ammo+1
Recoil pad and sling swivel studs add practical comfort and allow easy sling and bipod attachment. Vizard's Guns and Ammo+1
In short, it’s a stock built for real hunting, not just the gun rack.
Perfect for Deer, Antelope & Varmints
Chambered in .243 Win, this left-hand compact Axis 2 Pro is perfectly suited to:
Whitetail and mule deer in open country and lighter cover
Pronghorn/antelope where flat shooting and light recoil are assets
Coyotes and predators, especially when paired with a suppressor and quality varmint bullets
With a 4+1 capacity detachable magazine and fast-cycling left-hand bolt, the rifle offers enough firepower and speed for follow-up shots without feeling bulky or heavy. Fleet Farm+2Vizard's Guns and Ammo+2
