Note that for the Big Game model, the 300 Win Mag and the 300 WSM actions are housed in receivers of a common length. There is no OA length advantage to the 300 WSM as you might expect (barrels are both 24"). This could tip the scale in favor of choosing the 300 Win Mag.

I bought the Impulse Predator. I found the bolt operation was stiff and little scratchy. Before doing anything with it, I put on a movie and cycled the bolt an estimated 500 to 1000 times. The operation smoothed out to a satisfactory feel. I then removed the bolt and disassembled the rear cap portion. Starting with 1000 grit and then finishing with 2000 grit, I polished the only the parts that showed rub/scratch marks. The action operation before and after can be likened (albeit slightly exaggerated) to going from a Ruger American to my 30/40 Krag.

Intrigued by your thorough diversity yet again sir! I believe the name provided the bearings would be 'rollers'. Moving by leaps and bounds with their new impulse. I never thought I would see the day an American firm would enter the 'straight pull' bolt gun marketing niche for sporting rifles, and am not surprised Savage would be first to market one! 'Impulse', perhaps the name itself is reason to own one, considering impulsivness a core element of my character; spontaneity is a more responsible description (rationalization) a part of my demeanor. God willing the Savage ''Impulse'i will (God willing) the an addition to my little collection! Savage has already established its accuracy and product durability meets or exceeds that of any other over - the - counter sporting rifle. God bless you sir. Please excuse me. I became preoccupied with other activities and did not view your content 4 more more occassions during the week. Recently picked up a Savage model 12?..with the National Match profile ‘fat all the way round’ for $779.00. I couldn’t purchase a stock 40X profile gun for less than double that amount, and then it would be lugged, weighted and bedded anyway. I promised a very good friend that I would purchase a 40X type rifle to be used in the Palma qualifying matches from which the various teams will be selected. I nearly talked myself out of an opportunity to save $1,500.00 additional cost, the average for a similar gun ranging $1,900.00 - $2,250.00. I realized gas guns such as the M1A / M14 and perhaps to a lesser extent various AR platform rifles, induce barrel ware differantly, and at a faster pace than.bolt action match rifles, especially with headspacing. Since these 2 examples are U.S. military service rifles, they are the benchmark for guns authorized in composite National Match shooting events. So, I sent my good friend a message 2 evenings prior to ensure that purchase was arranged. Usually, such an option would only be available at more than twice the average market value. It may require a bit of searching, but the rifle has a 40X stock similar to those seen on many expensive small bore Olympic rifles or 300 meter free rifles. We checked out a Mossberg partially in error, but also because it was, unlike the Savage, new, under warranty and may have had the correct width (outside diameter of the barrel) length and twist. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite what it was advertised to be, although still a good rifle, not a match gun by any measure, new or not.

Wow. The background is a nice change from the indoors and taking some shots in the examination or explanation of this rifle was a nice touch and I rather like it. This format production suits you well and I think the viewers appreciate it. The rifle is a breath of fresh air even though it's made of more modern materials. It's time we see these type of actions in N America more and its time manufactures start to consider ambi usage for the rifles. About time. The lockup looks like a strong design and there's much to like but one question I'd have with the ball bearing detent style lockup is how well it operates in dust, debris, and buildup. In freezing rain type or wet to freezing conditions it can lock up single shots and any action and I've experienced this a few times. My old Mauser 98 rifles and Ruger scout rifle have always been stellar in operating in this regard whereas some others weren't as good and I've built a fire to unthaw them. It would be interesting to see how moisture and the ball bearing lockup does in the cold.

I hope they make one in Safari model in near future, Heym had a straight pull SR-30 chambered in 375 Ruger this is a rifle I always wanted and also wanted a straight pull Ross chambered in 280 Ross to test with a chronograph. Job well done with respect to your review. I enjoyed it very much.

I got one of these in .308 was skeptical of how I’d like it. Bore sighted it and fired it 8 rounds to sight it in, each time I got more familiar with the action. As for accuracy, was low 1st two shots (from bore sighting) then my mistake turning turret the wrong way and worked it up with the next three. Once on, put the last 3 in a spot the size of a dime. I really like the rifle the more I get familiar with it.

I've been waiting for your review of this rifle. Great job as usual. Finally a Savage with a proper extractor. I'm not really convinced straight pull bolts are noticeably quicker than turn bolt while hunting or aimed shooting. For one, it appears to have a longer bolt throw than short action turn bolts. One question, in these straight pull actions, how are they for primary extraction? Most turn bolts accomplish this in the last part of lifting the bolt handle, but I don't see any provision for this in the Impulse. Finally, I think it has an aluminum receiver which probably adds to the blocky look. Not as slim as the steel Heym receiver. As alway, great review. Thanks

I don't remember if you mentioned this but for us southpaws, the bolt handle on the Savage can be moved to the "correct" side thereby addressing the one big headache we face with bolt action rifles. I'd like to make a general comment about Savage rifles. I own several now and I have found with my shooting abilities that their price performance is excellent. I am not a 1,000-yard competition shooter so I can't comment on their performance in match shooting but for me out to 250 yards, I find them to be very accurate rifles.

Hi Mike great review, was wondering if the savage has a true bottom metal or if it’s plastic. The SR30 is beautiful in comparison and so are the other European straight pulls I’ve seen you display , to bad savage can’t appeal to the eye as much as the wallet. They even dropped the model 14/114 from there line up. I truly believe savage could produce a higher end rifle and do very well in that market. If it was offered in blued steel and walnut and a true bottom metal I’d have one in my safe. Always a pleasure to watch your videos and great to see you are healthy and safe.

I think that I am sold on this as my first and likely only straight pull. The stock design appears nearly identical to that of my 110 High Country, which is OK, but would be nicer if threaded metal inserts were provided to anchor the buttplate and spacer. I think that I will paint the modular cheek riser to blend in better. Though I had to return that Savage rifle due to the imprecise location of optics mounting holes, that concern goes away with this rifle. Note that the rail is 20 MOA. I happen to have a Burris Eliminator III, which must be mounted at 0 MOA, requiring a front spacer for this rifle. I have a suppressor, and thus I value the threaded barrel end. All things considered, including price, I think that this is the one. Thanks for the great video!

Now that you have explained it I'm trying to remember where I've seen this type of lock up before; not even sure if it was a rifle lock up. As I understand it, a tapered mandrel expands the ring of bearings into matching surfaces at the front of the receiver. It's a novel idea.

Hi Tony549 - a new rifle is the best and least expensive path to happiness. And the rifle is always a liquid asset - that goes up and up in value. I did some renos on my own house...my old cabinets and other things are worth nothing.

If I had to pick only one, would 308 or 6.5 Creedmore be a better bullet??

I have the schmidt rubin1889 in 30 30. the bolt action is resistant and rough due to the camtrack that rotates it. Im impressed savage took to this config,cause its an easy and fast system with the cam track replaced. I was trying to come up with an upgrade to fit the rifle bit dont think thats gonna work.

Good rifle. I have the same 30-30. Mine doesn't feed from the mag. so I have a fine single shot. I like your upgrade idea but I agree it would be too much work.

I often reload and I don't full resize my cases having said that there are occasions when I need to wedge the bolt in order to seat the bullet.I wonder how a straight pull would perform in this situation.

Does it have a bolt lock? Meaning when you chambered a round and put the safety "on", will you still be able to pull the bolt out?

I would hazard a guess that the reason the Mauser M96 is so slick is that its bolt handle is positioned in the middle of the bolt (plus of course the superb fit and finish). All things being equal, there would be less lateral twisting on the bolt travel compared to having the handle at one end. But then there is the compromise of a more awkward position. I guess it comes down to design philosophy.

100% - Like everything - it is a balance of things - in the case of the M96 they opted for the forward handle - and gained almost all other advantages. Thanks for the note.

British Columbia is my backyard too! Nice video review, very informative. Been researching past couple weeks, started out on the Bergara HMR 300 Win Mag ( did not like the 90 degree bolt action ), was just settling on the Browning X-Bolt Long Range 300 Win Mag ( liked the 60 degree bolt action ) Just came across your video on the Savage You have thrown a curve ball into the decision. Just moving from my Savage 30-06 stainless Weather Warrior. With success of my 2012 Savage 30-06, think I will carry on with Savage Straight Bolt. Thank you!!! Liked and Sub'd

I wander how many rounds can be shot before your head spacing extends beyond spec from ware on the sides and edges of the locking recesses. In contrast the Blaser collet locking straight pull action isn't prone to drifting head space.
@UnitedStatesOfGuns
@UnitedStatesOfGuns 3 жыл бұрын
Good thought Oldhogleg - I asked an engineer and he said the locking recesses in this design and the spherical locking "lugs" are just about impossible to move or break because the strongest geometric and natural shape by far - is the sphere. This makes sense to me - the action has worlds of strength. Thanks for the note.
