Why Choose the AXIS II Pro Woodland in .400 Legend (Left Hand)
Straight-Wall Advantage
Built around the modern .400 Legend—a low-recoil, deer-legal straight-wall cartridge in many Midwestern and Eastern states—the AXIS II Pro Woodland delivers reliable expansion and deep penetration at realistic hunting distances.
True Southpaw Ergonomics
A left-hand bolt and left-side ejection preserve your cheek weld and sight picture for quicker, smoother follow-up shots from sticks, prone, or tight treestands.
Confidence-Building Accuracy
Savage’s proven barrel-making and precise action geometry help produce consistent groups and a repeatable zero with quality hunting loads.
Woodland Camo Durability
The Woodland-pattern synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and cold while blending into hardwoods, cut corn, and brushy fencerows.
Optics-Ready Flexibility
The AXIS II Pro Woodland is scope friendly and set up for easy optic installation (bases/rails not included; verify mounting solution for this SKU).
Many AXIS II rifles include the user-adjustable AccuTrigger® for a crisp, predictable break; verify included trigger configuration for SKU 32297 in your package.

Setup Tips for Best Results
Pick the Right Optic & Mounts
Choose a durable 1–6×/2–7× or 3–9× scope, install quality bases/rings, and torque to spec. Level the reticle for reliable tracking.
Zero for Your Terrain
A 100-yard zero is ideal for timber and mixed-cover hunts. Confirm drop/wind holds to your maximum ethical distance with your chosen load.
Ammo Testing
Test a few .400 Legend loads to find the best accuracy and terminal performance in your rifle. Mark magazines and note POI for each load.
Stable Field Positions
Add a padded sling and carry a small rear bag or shooting sticks to lock in natural point of aim on uneven ground.
Safety, Maintenance & Care
Safe Handling:
Follow the four firearm safety rules; keep the muzzle in a safe direction and finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
Routine Cleaning:
Clean from the chamber forward with a bore guide; apply a light oil film to metal surfaces after wet or dusty hunts.
Hardware Checks:
Periodically verify action screw and optic mount torque—especially after travel or temperature swings.
