Savage model 32373 is the Axis 2 Pro in.223 Remington with a forest camo finish and the comp tag in the name, which points to a muzzle compensator on the barrel. Together with the Pro stock, it forms a light-recoiling varmint rifle for around six hundred sixty dollars.

A compensator helps push the muzzle down on shots, though a.223 has little recoil already. The result is a flat shooter that stays on target and lets you see your hits. Coyotes, groundhogs and other pests are common targets, and the.223 is cheap to shoot at the range.

The camo finish helps the rifle blend into cover at a field edge or a tree line. The AccuTrigger is adjustable. Pest hunters often shoot from a bench or bipod, so a decent rest makes a difference.

A compensator makes the blast louder to the sides, so use hearing protection at the range and keep neighbors in mind. Mount a scope that suits the distances you shoot. This rifle is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer of your choice for the background check and transfer.
