Last year, Savage released their new, lightning-fast straight-pull action called the Impulse. This year, we get several new products that feature the Impulse Action which includes the Impulse Mountain Hunter.
When Savage Arms released their Impulse straight-pull rifle in early 2021 I never imagined my 6.5 Creedmoor might be the first one to make it to the plains of Africa, or that my first-time hunting friend would claim first blood with it.
The Impulse Hog Hunter is a very accurate rifle, capable of taking game out to 400 yards without a problem. The straight-pull bolt operated effectively and actually got me on target faster for that follow-up shot.
Unlike most AR-10-pattern rifles, Savage Long Range guns feature non-reciprocating side charging handles, among other choice features.
I have had some people ask me about my preferred setup for terminating whistle pigs, so today I am going to discuss just that.
