Most bolt guns make you lift, pull, push, and lock before you get a second crack at anything. The Savage Impulse Driven Hunter skips half of that. Its straight-pull action cycles with one quick pull and push, so you can run the bolt without lifting your head off the stock or losing your sight picture. That is the whole point of this rifle. It was designed around driven hunts, hogs, and predator work, situations where the animal is moving and the window is short. Behind the speed sits Savage's Hexlock bolt system, which uses six hardened steel bearings to lock the bolt into the barrel extension, so you get fast cycling without giving up the lockup strength you want behind a .300 Win Mag.
The 20 inch carbon steel barrel keeps the rifle compact and quick to swing through brush or a shooting lane, and the 1/2-28 threaded muzzle is ready for a brake or suppressor if you want to tame some of that magnum recoil. Up top, the aluminum receiver has a machined-in 20 MOA Picatinny rail, so there are no separate bases to work loose and you get extra elevation built in for stretching the cartridge's legs. The gray AccuFit synthetic stock lets you adjust comb height and length of pull with the included inserts, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger means you can dial the pull weight to your liking right out of the box.
Savage built the Impulse platform with ambidextrous use in mind. The bolt handle can be removed and repositioned for left-handed shooters, and the tang safety sits right under your thumb either way. The rifle feeds from a 3 round detachable box magazine, giving you 3+1 on tap. At roughly 7.2 pounds bare, it carries reasonably well for a magnum, and once you add glass and a can it settles down nicely on the shoulder. For elk, hogs, bear, or anything else where a fast second shot matters, this is one of the more clever hunting rifles Savage has put out in years.
Instead of the usual lift-pull-push-lock motion, the Impulse uses a straight-pull action, so the bolt cycles with a single rearward pull and forward push. That makes follow-up shots noticeably quicker and lets you keep your eye on the target the whole time. Savage's Hexlock system uses six ball bearings to lock the bolt securely, so you are not trading away strength for speed.
Yes. The 20 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2-28 from the factory, so it accepts most common muzzle devices. A brake or suppressor is a popular addition on this rifle since .300 Win Mag produces stout recoil, and taming it helps you get back on target faster, which is the whole appeal of a straight-pull.
It is set up well for lefties. The bolt handle is removable and can be repositioned to the left side, and the tang safety is naturally ambidextrous. The ejection port stays on the right, but most left-handed users find that a non-issue in practice.
No, the 20 MOA Picatinny rail is machined directly into the aluminum receiver. Just add rings and your optic and you are ready to zero. The built-in 20 MOA of cant also gives you extra elevation adjustment, which comes in handy if you want to push the .300 Win Mag out to longer distances.
