In this sense, SAVAGE was one of the first manufacturers to enable a basic entry level to the brand, in this case led by the range called AXIS. The SAVAGE AXIS is a very economical rifle, designed to attract new hunters who start hunting or as a backup rifle for experienced users.

It is machined from a round bar and has a wide enough ejection window to provide good rigidity without hindering feeding through and ejection of struck cases. Although it also has other virtues, compared to open roof designs, such as preserving the entry of particles or dirt in the action.

What sets it apart from other rifles in the economic segment is its incredible smoothness of operation.
