SAVAGE ARMS IMPULSE BIG GAME

Posted May 19, 2023

When it comes to hunting big game, accuracy matters. The Savage Arms Impulse Big Game Rifle offers hunters increased accuracy with reduced recoil, all in one package. This rifle isn’t for the faint of heart or budget, as its price tag reflects the quality and performance it offers. However, for those willing to pay the price for a reliable, accurate rifle that can take down big game, the Impulse Big Game is an excellent choice.

Built on an extremely lightweight chassis, the Impulse Big Game offers the shooter a secure and balanced platform without sacrificing mobility in the field. The short-action design is made of all-steel components that are robust and durable, built to take a beating and keep on going. The spiral-fluted bolt is machined from stainless steel and utilizes 20° to handle large magnum cartridges with ease. It’s also fitted with a removable bolt stop for safe and easy disassembly.

The barrel used on the Impulse Big Game Rifle is made from 416 stainless steel and fluted to decrease weight and promote faster cooling. It features Savage’s award-winning AccuTrigger™, which is adjustable and can be set for a crisp, clean break without any creep. The stock is made from Advanced Tech™ molded synthetic, which is durable and weatherproof, and provides a comfortable grip. This stock is fully adjustable and has a textured pistol grip.

When it comes to accuracy, the Impulse Big Game really stands out. Savage has taken extra steps to ensure that the rifle’s accuracy exceeds that of other models. The action is bedded with a precision sealed action bedding system and is paired with a free-floated barrel for consistency. The chamber is tightened to an unprecedented .003” tolerance, which ensures reliable performance even with the highest-grade ammunition. Additionally, the muzzle is threaded for 1/2”x 28tpi suppressors and features an 11° target crown. The Impulse Big Game Rifle is accurate right out of the box; it’s capable of sub-MOA groupings with the right combination of ammunition and shooter skill.

Recoil reduction is a key factor for big game hunters, and the Impulse Big Game Rifle is designed to help shooters mitigate this issue. The dual-pinned barrel and recoil lug act as a buffer to absorb much of the recoil. Additionally, the adjustable muzzle brake is threaded onto the muzzle and features a set of ports that disperse the gasses from each round fired in different directions, thus reducing recoil. The Impulse Big Game Rifle also features a muzzle brake designed specifically for Savage rifles, which helps reduce perceived recoil even further.

The Impulse Big Game Rifle is one of the best rifles on the market for big game hunting. It’s incredibly accurate, lightweight, and offers serious recoil reduction. On top of that, its AccuTrigger system provides a crisp, clean break and its durable machined steel construction ensures it can take a beating and keep on going. Its price tag may be high, but the quality and performance it offers make it worth the investment. This rifle is a great option for those who are serious about hunting big game and want a reliable, accurate rifle that can handle whatever comes its way.
