Magpul Releases Hunter Lite Stock – Savage AXIS Short Action
The Hunter Lite Stock—Savage AXIS Short Action is a purpose-built hunting stock designed for Savage AXIS and AXIS II rifles chambered in short-action calibers. The Hunter Lite streamlines Magpul’s original Hunter Stocks to reduce their weight and dimensions, providing a fully featured upgrade for those who want a hunting rifle that won’t weigh them down in their outdoor pursuits. The result is a stock weighing 20% less, with a forend that’s almost 25% narrower than the original Hunter line.
Built with advanced features and enhanced ergonomics, the Hunter Lite Stock– Savage AXIS Short Action stock can be used by both left and right-handed shooters by simply swapping out an inlet insert on the stock. The extruded aluminum V-bedding block utilizes reinforced steel pillars to prevent compression and deformation while shooting. The buttstock and forend have integral sling swivel studs and M-LOK slots for use with a variety of slings and bipods. The stock can also be adjusted for LOP via removable half-inch spacers, and comb height can be modified using the included snap-on cheek riser.
Other features include an enlarged trigger guard that allows comfortable use with gloves and grants access to the ambidextrous magazine release, an integrated magazine well for AICS-pattern, short-action magazines, and stamped steel over-insertion tabs to ensure repeatable, proper magazine presentation in the action.
The stock accepts barrel profiles up to Medium Palma and will be available in Black, FDE, Stealth Gray, and ODG. It’s also proudly made in the USA.
