Daily Bulletin -- Savage's New Straight-Pull PRS Rifle

Forum Boss

Administrator
Savage has adapted its award-winning Impulse straight-pull action for PRS/NRL/Tactical use.

The new Impulse Elite Precision has an MDT ACC chassis and features a switchable ambidextrous bolt set-up with 26" barrel for standard calibers and 30" barrel for the magnums.

The new Savage Impulse Elite Precision has a $2649 MSRP for 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and .308 Win. The .300 PRC, .300 Win Mag, and .338 LM versions have a $2849. Unfortunately both prices put the rifle out of PRS Production Class based on 2021 rules.

This video shows details of the stock and action:

There seems to be quite a lot of interest in this rifle -- it is one of the most popular Bulletin stories of 2022.

Yes they tout that it has a barrel extension. It's a novel design and time will tell if it is competitive or not.
 
Here is a shooting video from Industry Day at the Range. You can watch GunsAmerica Editor True Pearce cycle the action and shoot the gun at 3:00 in the video:


I have not handled the new Savage Impulse, but it does not appear to be as smooth cycling as the German Straight-Pulls (Blaser, Strasser) which I have tried.

 
The price! Ouch. There's plenty of PRS production class rifles out there - and doesn't this exceed the cost limit? If it does, I can't see anyone using one in open class.
 
I hate being negative but in my recent attempts at prs competitions cycling the bolt is the least of my worries. Building positions, understanding the course of fire on the clock, spotting misses, having accurate drop data and good wind calls are far more important than the speed at which I cycle the bolt. Just saying.
 
Boss, after reading your thread on giving the bulletin more attention I have been doing so. I noticed this article on the savage straight pull action and it is dated 1/17, when i click for the bulletin page I get articles from 1/11. How can I get the bulletin's latest to come up?
