This Savage Axis II XP is a scoped package chambered in .223 Remington, with a 20-inch threaded barrel and a blued and green finish, shipping with optics already mounted and bore-sighted. For a first centerfire rifle or a dedicated varmint gun, that removes a whole layer of decisions.

.223 in a bolt action is an outstanding predator and small-game combination, with inexpensive ammunition, negligible recoil, and accuracy that rewards careful shooting. The threaded 20-inch barrel keeps the rifle handy and accepts a suppressor, which is a natural pairing for coyote work near homes and livestock. The AccuTrigger and AccuFit stock let you tune both the break and the fit.
