The Savage Arms Impulse Hog Hunter delivers straight-pull bolt action speed with traditional hunting rifle accuracy in 30-06 Springfield. This innovative rifle combines rapid follow-up shots with the proven stopping power needed for wild hog control and big game hunting.
What Makes This Different
The Impulse action eliminates the need to lift and rotate a traditional bolt, allowing shooters to cycle rounds with a simple pull-push motion while maintaining sight picture. This straight-pull design reduces cycle time by approximately 30% compared to conventional bolt actions. The 20-inch threaded barrel provides optimal velocity for 30-06 Springfield cartridges while accommodating suppressors or muzzle devices without requiring additional gunsmithing.
