Good greetings from Canada, that is another great shooter from Savage!!! I have some range time with this model, 1000 meters with 25 centimeter target with no issues. Great design for shooting targets and paper but very very heavy. My thoughts are that all versions of American straight pull Savage Impulse rifle really need a GRS style stock like the Bifrost or Warg model or the equivalent from MDT or Woox rifle stocks (especially in the mountain hunter model different than the model in your video). Think of Sako Quest 90 Carbon Fiber stock design on this Savage Impulse design of rifle chambered in 300PRC with a 26 inch carbon fibre barrel on the wide open Tundra in the North or in the high altitude mountain hunts, that would be truly impressive even at the range in PRS events as well. The stock design in your video is more for a semiautomatic or to a lesser degree a turn bolt action like 110, 700, model 70, howas or tikkas . These thoughts are based on almost 30 years of Hunter's experience who enjoys long-distance shooting at the range, and as for thumbhole stocks they really and truly provide the best advantage for semi-automatic in terms of accuracy improvement, no real speed improvement for thumbole straightpull tun bolt actiins. Having said all that, I still go hog hunting with an early 70's Sako Finnwolf lever action (well oiled and very quick) chambered in 308 win for more impressive speed on target as compared to a straight pull out of the box.
Thanks Pete. I like it.
Very Nice , Thanks Pete , Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks for share😊
Why did they change the receiver material from stainless to aluminum on the impulse model of the elite? What prevents galvanic corrosion between the barrel and the receiver? Thanks, good video.
Thanks. A lot of firearms mix alloy receivers with steel barrels, probably to save weight or reduce production costs, which as you say does represent the issues of galvanic corrosion. Looking at the finish of the Impulse's receiver, it seems to be hard anodised, which should form an effective barrier between these two materials. The only question is the longevity of the coatings.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. @@PCMGuns
Do you prefer this over the mossberg mvp?
It’s certainly more sophisticated and I like the straight-pull action and the fact you can swap the bolt handle left or right. But the MVP is a real shooter in 6.5 Creedmoor and if a trifle ugly, well laid out and practical. Plus, at around £1500 it will do anything the Impulse can and is around 60% cheaper.
Is this a different barrel than the non-impulse elite precision version?
I don't think so, as I'd assume apart from the action, the rest of the gun is the same, as it would seem logical
It is vary different. Especially the barrel size. The impulse is junk!
Bore scope the rifle. Savage will let a crappy barrel leave the factory badly chattered bore. 110 Tactical in 308 Winchester.
Just bought myself one chambered in .338. feels so good spending 10 euro per bullet
You know what they say; THE BIGGER THE BANG, THE BIGGER THE BUCKS 🤣🤣🤣
