The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter rifle features a straight-pull action that’s ideal for fast-and-furious hog hunting. Hogs often show up in groups, and the speed of the Impulse Hog Hunter allows hunters to quickly get back on target.
HuntStand broke the news when Savage released its American-made line of Impulse straight-pull rifles in early 2021. Since then, our team has racked up some serious trigger time behind several models of the rifle, including the Impulse Big Game model during deer season and a pronghorn hunt in Wyoming.
An American-made straight-pull rifle that's purpose built for shooting feral swine.
A straight-pull bolt action allows you to maintain a solid cheek weld on your rifle’s comb, while staying in your optics and being able to smoothly cycle the bolt for fast shooting and follow-up shots. While it might seem like a subtle difference from the bolt lift of a “traditional” bolt-action rifle, once you run a few rounds through a straight-pull you can quickly recognize the advantage.
While there’s no question many hog hunters prefer semiautomatic rifles for hog hunting, the Savage Impulse Hog Hunter and its straight-pull action is a venerable choice for pounding pigs. You can deliver fast, accurate shots and make lots of bacon with minimal cleaning or maintenance.
