There’s a lot to unpack with the new rifle from @savagearms—13 pending patents worth in fact—but the keystone is that the Impulse is the first American-made straight-pull rifle and includes a unique feature set, locking mechanism, and price-point. Savage’s goal with this effort is, unsurprisingly, to make straight-pull rifles popular in the U.S. market.
