Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Straight-pull rifles used to be something you mostly saw in European hunting camps, but Savage changed that with the Impulse, and the Mountain Hunter is the version built for people who count ounces on the way up the ridge. The heart of the weight savings is a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel, 22 inches in this .270 Winchester chambering with a 1:10 twist. You get the stiffness and accuracy of a quality stainless blank without hauling a heavy full-profile barrel across the mountain, and the carbon wrap sheds heat between shots better than you might expect. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and a brake comes installed, so you can run it as-is, swap in a suppressor, or cap it off and go.
Instead of the lift-pull-push-drop routine of a traditional bolt gun, the Impulse cycles with a single straight stroke back and forward. That means you stay in the scope and on the animal for follow-up shots, which matters a lot more on a quartering elk at last light than it does on paper. Lockup comes from Savage's HexLock system, a ring of stainless ball bearings that expand into the receiver for a solid, consistent lock. The bolt handle is removable and can be set up on either side, a nice touch for lefties or anyone who likes to fine-tune their setup. The aluminum receiver wears an integral one-piece 20 MOA rail, so mounting an optic is about as simple as it gets.
Savage's AccuFit system lets you adjust length of pull and comb height so the rifle fits you rather than the other way around, and the AccuStock's aluminum bedding keeps the action seated consistently shot after shot. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds, crisp and safe without a trip to the gunsmith. Feeding comes from a flush-fit 4-round detachable box magazine, with a two-position tang safety right under your thumb. At roughly 7.16 pounds bare, chambered in a flat-shooting classic like the .270 Win, this is a legitimate do-it-all big game rig for deer, antelope, and elk country alike.
A traditional bolt gun takes four movements to cycle: lift, pull, push, lower. The Impulse does it in one straight stroke back and forward, thanks to Savage's HexLock ball-bearing lockup. In practice that means faster follow-up shots and less time breaking your cheek weld, which is a real advantage when an animal is moving.
Yes. The 22-inch Proof Research barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 with a muzzle brake installed from the factory. Just remove the brake and thread on any suppressor with a matching pitch. The carbon fiber barrel keeps overall weight reasonable even with a can up front.
No bases needed. The aluminum receiver has a one-piece 20 MOA Picatinny-style rail machined right in, so all you need are rings and your optic. The built-in 20 MOA cant also gives you extra elevation for stretching the .270 out at longer distances.
More than most. The bolt handle is removable and can be mounted on either side of the action, and the tang safety sits on top where it works the same for either hand. Ejection is right-side only, but plenty of left-handed hunters run this rifle comfortably with the handle swapped over.
