Has anyone tried out one of the Savage Impulse straight pull bolt rifles? I see Cabela’s has them on clearance…..$500 off.
Tried? No, but was at my local range when the NRA tech guys were wringing out a sample, along with one of the MLs using the breech-loaded powder thingys. It looked big and heavy, and the Cabelas listing shows it at 8.8 pounds, buck-naked. Sorry, but that’s just too heavy, for no obvious benefit. Swing and a miss IMO, and oogly, even for a Savage, to boot.
Mine was junk, and Savage CS was just as bad.
Save your money.
Heard from some people that said accuracy was great. I've messed with the Big Game version in .30-06. I really want to like it because of the Camo pattern (Kuiu?) and threaded barrel...but custom mausers and some Ruger No 1's keep getting my money
