We need to see you get your hands on one of these and put it through its paces. I'm thinking 100 yards or so as fast as you can run the bolt. Keep up the great work that you do and I've been really enjoying the content you've been putting out!!
Never heard of a straight pull that couldn't handle magnum pressures... The Blaser r8 is the shining example of magnum straight pulls. That being said still an awesome rifle!
Never heard of an American straight pull rifle before, just that says a lot abot Savage. In their website it says they produce rifles on these calibers 6.5 Creedmoor // 30-06 SPFLD // 300 Win Mag // 308 Win.
Three different models, but these calibers are available in at least one or more model: 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Win, 30-06 Springfield, 300 WSM, 300 WinMag.
The bolt may be ambidextrous, but the ejection port remains on the right side regardless. Yes, you may use the bolt with your trigger hand but you'll still have the casings thrown in your face
This rifle has lots of impressive features: all the usually impressive Savage features - Accutrigger, stock, LOP, etc. and some great new ones, like the main one being the straight-pull bolt which can be set up as RH or LH. As for the easy bolt release - it's about time Savage caught up to almost every other rifle manufacturer with this feature. My only criticism is the weight of this rifle. At over eight pounds, it may be fine for varmints, but chasing big game with a rig that will come in around ten pounds with scope seems a little on the high side, at least to me.
@@jwhmerica504 At least AICS is a bit more standard and not some proprietary overly expensive nonsense. Mossberg made a .308 bolt gun that took standard AR-10 magazines but I think I heard they had feeding issues - so maybe Savage went AICS to avoid that.
I am a lefty and own 2 Savage southpaw bolt guns...love them both...this one will soon be joining them...30.06...I have Leupold VX2 NIB waiting for a friend...
1:15 which straight-pulls is that? Name them. These are all available in magnum calibers: Blaser, Merkel Helix, Browning Maral, Strasser, Steel-Action, Heym SR 30 G, Rössler Titan 16....so, how many are left?
At 0:18 he says, "with the speed and cycling capabilities of an MSR". Personally, I doubt that, but I do think this a good idea. The rifle is too heavy at 8.5 lbs. If they could get the weight to 7.5 lbs. and chamber it in smaller cartridges (.223 or 6.5 Grendel), I think this will sell very well.
@@ChuckinTV Right, don't want to haul this around all day. If they make a lighter version though, this could be an incredible hunting rifle as long as everything works as it should.
Well dang. Didn’t see that coming. Yes it ain’t nothing new. But for American woods yep. And the ambi option. Now that is nice. And if savage incorporate a type of modular stock system. That still had classic stock lines. Be over the top.
I really like everything about this rifle expect the receiver being made of aluminum! No matter how strong the aluminum is it's strength will break down over time where steel unless you exceed its stencil strength does not break down unless you count rust
So what happens when those ball bearings start wearing out? Will it still stay locked or send that bolt through your face? What about accuracy when they start wearing.
The 6 ball bearings in the hexlock bolt face, never have to roll or slide, just move in and out, pushed by a metal cone, and engaging a groove, or disengaging. They will not wear out.
Can not find this rifle anywhere in Texas. Found it on Gun Broker, but the prices were $500 over manufacturers asking price. It is dejavu Keltec marketing.
Greater the round pressure, tighter the bolt lockup. I handload rounds that create pressure/recoil of a 22LR/22 mag. Wondering if the bolt will lockup at extremely low pressures ...
A metal cone inside the bolt, pushes the 6 ball bearings into position, they are locked up when the bolt handle is all the way forward, and only then can the trigger be pulled.
The bolt handle may be ambi in application but that reciever is for righties with no protection from gases for lefties. In safety theres no gas shielding for lefties
This is true. I hear that’s because semi auto bans and the fact that hunters there are usually rich enough to afford the really fancy/expensive straight pulls impact the popularity over there. Would you say that’s true?
Honestly, how sturdy is that stock? My savage 110 ultra lite is flimsy. I know my other rifles in the same price range of my 110 have much better stocks.
The Ultra Lite lacks the aluminum bedding block to keep the weight down. I think these will have the full bedding block. My 110 Varmint and Tactical have very little flex on the fore end, granted they are heavy
All of these Savage Impulse have the Savage AccuStock with the stock built over/around a very sturdy aluminum frame, complete with a pocket for the recoil lug from the action. Front sling stud threads into the aluminum, and there is a second threaded hole 2.5" back that could be used to mount Picatinny rail for bipod mount or whatever you want.
Its super unlikely but I wonder, if you ever had an explosive malfunction would the results be as bad as if it was a standard bolt action or worse? I cant imagine it being as safe as a semi auto if it blows up.
@@jagdw4690 whats the price on those here in the states? Yeah. Big NO. Its innovative because its being mass produced, and the first strait-pull made here
No. From the Factory the .300 WinMag only comes in models that use a flush 3 round magazine. Only the Predator models use a 10 round AICS pattern mag. Not available in 300 WinMag at this time.

@@SixOFord The built in Picatinny rail has 20 MOA of elevation machined into it. You should be happy. If you want more than that, try one of the ADM mfg mounts with another 20 MOA built into the mount.

I am shooting an Impulse Predator 6.5 Creedmoor.
Heym made a straight pull that uses ball bearings as well. Anschutz also made a toggle lock 22lr with ball bearings as locking lugs. It is cool to see a modern take on it though.
Yes, but not as bad as it sounds. The bolt locks in to a steel barrel extension, so the receiver only has to guide the bolt home and does not see any pressure. Much like the AR 6 lug bolt.
This rifle looks like all of the newer vehicles with all of the electronics, just more stuff to go wrong. Think I'll just stick with the old tried and proven Mauser type actions. But hey, that's just me.
A hunting rifle should have smooth lines and harmonious rounded profiles , not sharp sharp edges ... (have you ever seen a blaser ? ) If I wanted a product with futuristic lines, I would buy a semiauto black rifle
That's nice but I seem to recall seeing that bolt design in a German gun from the 1950's! It saw it for the first time in a youtube video created by this guy's channel th-cam.com/channels/61DCbnEtWbViNLOgfN2E5Q.html. He actually presented a cutaway view of the bolt and showed those ball bearings that lock it in place. I tried to go back and find it from his catalog but he's got so many videos I just couldn't locate it.
Why do you say that many straight pull rifles are not designed for magnum calibers? All leading companies that have developed and produce straight pull rifles, from Blaser, Merkel, Heym to Browning offer their weapons in magnum calibers. Blaser, whose R93 has been on the market for 28 years, builds its R8s to the thickest calibers on request. So please, stick to the facts when advertising a product. Personally, I prefer rifles from Sauer and Sohn and carry a Merkel RX Helix for driven hunts. Greetings from Germany
Straight pull rifles are not significantly quicker than turnbolts. This is a rippoff of the Heym system. I've shot K31's and M95's. They are not a bit quicker if you have to reacquire the target between shots. Only the Swiss with their apparently racial love of complexity fielded a straight pull after the Great War. And they replaced it with an autoloader despite never having to use it in combat. This is akin to fishing lures that are designed to catch fishermen rather than fish.
@@NOCTKINETICS no it didn't happen to me,I meant ball bearings do wear out, and if was to beak loose when shooting it would be extremely painful,that was the ouch part.But I actually did have a rifle explode iny face some years ago.
@@caintfindme4735 the mechanism isnt new. Its tried and true. Roller-delayed guns also use a similar locking concept (with rollers instead of bearings, obviously) and they have been used in rifles and machine guns for decades. Once the rollers, or in this case bearings, ever do wear out, the gun wont lock into battery, hence it wont fire. Again tho, we’re talking several thousands and thousands of rounds.
@@gerhardschulzy Blaser, Heym, Merkel, Browning, Strasser, Rößler, Mauser all make or made modern straight pull rifles that are chambered in high pressure rifle cartridges. How many modern straight pulls are left that can’t handle high-pressure cartridges that warrant the label "a lot of"?
