At the virtual SHOT Show from January 18 to 22, 2021, the American manufacturer Savage will present its new straight pull repeater IMPULSE, which will be equipped with various technical innovations: SAVAGE applied for 13 new patents alone, which will be incorporated in the IMPULSE.

An integral component of the SAVAGE Impulse is the "Hexlock" straight pull bolt of the rifle, which allows significantly faster repeating than a conventional rotary cylinder bolt.

In addition to speed, the safety of the futuristic straight-pull bolt action plays a decisive role: the SAVAGE Impulse has three safeties: The mechanical firing pin safety the independent AccuTrigger trigger and the mechanical butt neck safety which almost completely exclude unintentional firing. The chambering stem can be mounted either on the right or left side.

The rifle is modular in design and can be disassembled and assembled in large parts without tools. Thus, the bolt head can be changed without tools and the barrel with a conventional torque wrench. The variants offered at launch are "Big Game," "Predator" and "Hog Hunter."
