Zanders Expands Savage Axis Lineup with New Models in Stock

Zanders, a premier national distributor based in Sparta, Illinois, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its selection of Savage Arms Axis-series rifles in stock, to include the Axis XP, Axis 2 XP, and Axis 2 Pro, giving dealers access to three versatile bolt-action platforms designed to deliver reliable performance, accuracy, and value to today's hunters and shooting enthusiasts.

The Savage Axis family has earned a strong reputation among hunters for combining dependable performance with practical features at an accessible price point. With these three new models now available through Zanders, dealers can offer customers options ranging from the proven Axis XP to the upgraded Axis 2 XP and feature-rich Axis 2 Pro.

"We're pleased to have these newest Savage Axis models available for our dealers," said Dan Siegler, President and COO at Zanders. "The Axis platform has a strong following because it gives hunters the performance and features they need without pushing the price point out of reach. Having the new Axis lineup in stock gives our dealers the opportunity to offer customers multiple options within one of the most popular bolt-action rifle categories."

The newest available Savage Axis Models Include:

Savage AXIS XP

The AXIS XP is loaded with features that deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot, including precision button-rifled threaded barrel and thread-in headspacing. The AXIS XP is offered in a wide variety of models, including full-size, left-hand, and compact models, with a complete spectrum of popular hunting calibers. The updated bolt handle with a sleek, ergonomic design delivers on functionality. The AXIS XP comes with a factory-mounted and boresighted 3-9x40 scope.

Savage AXIS 2 XP

The all-new redesigned AXIS 2 XP offers hunters even better out-of-the-box performance at the same affordable price. The AXIS 2 XP is loaded with features that deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot, including the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, precision button-rifled threaded barrel and thread-in headspacing. The AXIS 2 XP is available in OD Green or Gray, plus a wide variety of full-size, left-hand, and compact models along with a complete spectrum of popular hunting calibers. The updated bolt handle comes with a sleek, ergonomic design that delivers on functionality. Factory-mounted and boresighted 3-9x40 scope with fully multi-coated lenses and tool-less windage & elevation adjustments.

Savage AXIS 2 PRO

The AXIS 2 PRO is loaded with features that deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot, including the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, precision button-rifled threaded barrel and thread-in headspacing. The AXIS 2 PRO is offered in a wide variety of full-size, left-hand and compact models and a complete spectrum of popular hunting calibers. The PRO models also showcase the Savage camo patterns, Woodland, Western and for Forest SP Camo, along with Cerakote finishes to outlast the elements.

"With the latest Axis and Axis 2 launches, we're giving dealers an even stronger story at the counter. Adjustable length of pull on all Axis 2 models allow retailers to fit the rifle to a much broader range of customers, while threaded barrels on all Axis models give today's hunters and shooters the versatility they're looking for. These are meaningful upgrades that make an already proven platform easier for dealers to sell and a better value for the consumer," mentioned Robert Gates, Senior Vice President at Savage Arms and Excalibur Crossbows.

The Savage Axis XP, Axis 2 XP, and Axis 2 Pro are now in stock and available to order through Zanders. Dealers can place orders through the gzanders.com or by contacting their Zanders sales representative.
