Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Backcountry rifles live and die by two things: how much they weigh on the way up and how well they shoot at the top. The Impulse Mountain Hunter handles both sides of that equation. Savage wrapped its straight-pull Impulse action around a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel, which sheds a meaningful amount of weight compared to a traditional steel tube of the same length while keeping the stiffness you need for consistent groups. At roughly 7.3 pounds bare, this is a rifle you can carry all day in steep country without regretting it by lunch.
The straight-pull bolt is the headline here, and it earns it. There is no lift and turn, just a quick pull back and push forward, so you can run the action without breaking your cheek weld or losing your animal in the scope. Pair that with 6.5 PRC, a cartridge that pushes high-BC bullets fast enough to stay honest way out past typical hunting distances, and you have a setup built for follow-up shots on elk and mule deer in open country. The 24 inch barrel wrings full velocity out of the cartridge, and the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle comes with a brake installed. Swap it for a suppressor if that is more your style.
The gray AccuStock uses an aluminum rail system bedded the full length of the action, so the receiver sits in rigid contact with the stock instead of floating in flexible polymer. AccuFit lets you adjust comb height and length of pull with included inserts, which means proper eye alignment behind your glass without a trip to a gunsmith. Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger rounds out the accuracy package.
An integral 20 MOA one-piece rail comes mounted from the factory, giving you extra elevation for stretching the 6.5 PRC to its potential. A two-round flush-fit detachable box magazine keeps the profile slim for carry. Mount a scope, confirm zero, and this rifle is ready for the mountain.
Instead of lifting the bolt handle and rotating it, you simply pull the handle straight back and push it forward to cycle a round. The Impulse uses a ball-bearing lockup in the bolt head to secure the action. The practical benefit is faster follow-up shots and the ability to keep your eye in the scope while you cycle.
Yes. The 24 inch Proof Research barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most 30 caliber and smaller suppressors and muzzle devices. It ships with a brake installed, so you can run that to tame recoil or spin it off and mount a can.
It has become one of the go-to western hunting cartridges for exactly that. The 6.5 PRC drives heavy-for-caliber, high-BC bullets at strong velocities, so it holds energy and resists wind drift at the extended ranges common in open country. Recoil stays manageable too, especially with the factory brake on this rifle.
No, a 20 MOA one-piece rail comes on the rifle from the factory. That built-in cant gives your scope extra elevation travel, which is handy when dialing for longer shots with the 6.5 PRC. All you need are rings and glass and you are ready to zero.
