Savage Arms Impulse Predator 6.5 Creedmoor 20" Threaded Rifle

The Savage Arms Impulse Predator delivers straight-pull bolt action performance in a precision hunting platform designed for long-range predator control. This 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines Savage's proven accuracy with modern features that reduce follow-up shot times compared to traditional bolt actions.

What Makes This Different

The Impulse system uses a straight-pull bolt mechanism that cycles 60% faster than conventional turn-bolt rifles while maintaining the same lockup strength. The hexagonal bolt head locks directly into the barrel extension for consistent headspace and improved accuracy. Unlike gas-operated semi-automatics, this system eliminates cycling reliability issues with varying ammunition weights while providing rapid follow-up shots.

Key Features

• Straight-pull bolt action with 60-degree bolt throw for rapid cycling
• 20-inch carbon steel barrel with 5/8x24 threaded muzzle for suppressors
• AccuStock with AccuFit system for length of pull and comb height adjustment
• Mossy Oak Terra Gila camouflage pattern for concealment in varied terrain
• 10-round detachable box magazine with steel construction
• User-adjustable AccuTrigger system (1.5-6 pounds)
• Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts

Field performance centers on the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge's proven ballistics for shots beyond 400 yards. The straight-pull action allows hunters to maintain sight picture while cycling, critical for tracking wounded predators or engaging multiple targets. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors for reduced noise signature during early morning or late evening hunts when sound carries furthest.
