- The new Impulse, the American straight-pull rifle from Savage is instinctive and fast. Compared to a traditional bolt action rifle, which requires four motions -- up, rearward, forward, and down, the speed of Impulse's straight-pull action is undeniable. Breakthrough technology, repeat accuracy, enhanced safety, lightning fast speed and Savage performance all come together in Impulse.

Interesting internal toggle lock. But the bolt head looks like it took inspiration from the Heym SR30 with the ball bearings.
Odd...I watched Ian's video about that rifle last night.
It is
It's a heym sr30. With american twist on it. I hope it sells well.
Theres a link, but thats not the lock. Thats just the means to unlock. Toggle locked firearms are only as strong as the link, this has no load on the link other than hand motion.
1. There is no additional forward movement OR rotation of the bolt to accomplish the lockup of the Hexbolt. After the cartridge is fully in the chamber, there is forward rotational movement of the handle, which moves the locking cone forward, which forces the 6 hardened steel ball bearings into the groove on the inside of the steel barrel extension.
2. Less friction is involved in moving these 6 ball bearings into the grooves, than is required to slide lugs into angled sockets to achieve lockup. Also the bolt face is NOT rotating on the head of the case NOR is the case rotating in the chamber. This reduces the amount of force needed on the bolt handle to lockup and unlock the bolt.
3. After moving fully forward and locking the bolt, the bolt handle is locked and cannot be unlocked to eject or unload a cartridge, until A) the trigger is pulled and the cartridge is fired, or B) the unlock release button on the back of the bolt is pushed, and then the bolt handle can be pulled back and the cartridge ejected, safely. The firing pin cannot reach the primer to fire, unless the locking cone is fully forward.
I've always been a bit hesitant on straight pull bolts because of the worry that I can accidentally pull it back when not intended so this is really good to see
I always wanted a Sako Blazer. I’m glad Savage is making this. I just tried to buy one online and it looks like it will be near impossible for a while. Maybe in a year or two we will see them on the shelf.
First thoughts: I'm wondering about the how the end of ejection pull feels, and it's durability.
I see the bolt pivots... that can make the issue worse finding that sweet spot in cycling without issue.
Also shoutout to Joe Degrande for working with my family years ago in the ml-II muzzleloader line.
The Bolt does NOT pivot. The Bolt and Bolt head go straight forward and straight back. The bolt handle pivots slightly forward and back for the Lock and Unlock function.
There looks to be a lot of moving parts in the bolt. How does this bolt hold up to freezing rain and snow?
@Corat It's a gun. He wasn't asking about tesla cars. Go away.
I prefer cams over bearings because when the cam locks in you know you have a tight seal. Im just not confident that those bearings wont start to gum up over time with carbon.
Generally speaking, a ball bearing falling into a hole is not as robust as a fat lug going into battery.
@@dbmail545 i agree.
@@dbmail545I’m imagining an artillery piece relying on ball bearings instead of a falling block of steel or the interrupted threads on a 16 inch gun. Straight pull bolts are very interesting but they do over complicate such a simplistic and reliable design of a traditional bolt gun.
Ball bearings are much stronger than locking lugs because the sphere is the strongest 3D shape and this locking system hasn't been known to easily seize up from not being cleaned.
Like hydro or pneumo quick connection
Im curious how this would work in freezing weather. Especially if it got wet while on a walk n stalk and the weather turned freezing. Would the internals lock up and not work due to all the moving parts. Personally i think ill just stick to a standard easy to use and maintain bolt action.
The cutaway drawing looked complicated and tight. I can't believe you could drop this in water and not have it seize up in the cold. A Mauser will, for sure, but seems a bit easier to remedy.
Gonna wait for the ordinary Joe's reviews on Utube
Yup same here
Fascinating 🧐
can we get a 350 legend version?
Yeah if it was that smooth I would buy it.
I guess Heym's patents must have expired.
Hey Savage, do this with a semi-auto. I'd like a mini action for >1.5" cartridges, ar15 and 10 mag fed actions, and win mag and lapua length actions. Oh and also one for 50 bmg. Getting bored of all the same ideas getting regurgitated as 'innovative' but lower quality with each iteration.
When was the last time you saw an American-made strait-pull “regurgitation”. Ill wait for you to look it up
@@John_Redcorn_ Regardless of continent of origin, simply changing the nation of manufacture does not qualify as 'innovation'. Straight pulls are a dominant Euro thing since semi autos are more difficult to own and Americans can usually have semi autos so why would we want something slower except for novelty. Cool, it's new.. here. It's not new new. It's marketing wank and bull shit phrases to make it sound more interesting, ie lies. It's different than what we're used to, so what. It's probably more affordable than a Heym and definitely less than a Blaser. Great. They nuked yesterday's dinner and put a bow on it, and they're calling it fresh. Sell it on it's individual merits, not on 'new and innovative and revolutionary' when it's not. Call it a half-off Heym or a budget Blaser, that's closer to the truth.
@@randomidiot8142 oh like how all the creedmoor crap is “innovative”? Seems those cartridges are doing fairly well reguardless. Maybe you want them to make another PCC that takes Glock mags
@@John_Redcorn_ creedmore.. oh yeah, that new thing between 6.5*47 lapua and 6.5-08/260 Remington. Or the 6.5 prc that claimed to fix all of the 6.5-.284 winchester problems but copied them, or the 300 something or other that's a regurgitated 300 Remington ultra mag 'barrel burner'. Wierd how everything comes in cycles. Almost like they expect the new generation to not have learned from the previous. Oh well. I don't follow trends like some people do. I don't get all starry eyed over 'new' stuff. The old stuff still works just fine, it's just too boring for most people. You know who likes drama and new and exciting? Women.
not enough straight pulls in the world. despite the schmidt rubins best efforts
Sad they don't do a takedown of the rifle
There is kind of a reason why straight-pulls have never been popular with military or civilian users. Turn-bolts work fine and are simpler, cheaper, lighter, and have fewer moving parts.
Switzerland and Austria would like a word with you
@@koolaidman007 Britain, Germany, USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, Finland & Japan would like a word with you
@@bitronic1 canada had the ross ... but jea you are right the normal turn bolts are in my opinion better.
Muzzleloaders are fine too. Real simple. And then the lever action came around and we realized that added complexity can give an advantage over bare bone simplicity.
All those who say "X has a problem with you" tell me this. Do ANY of those countries use any sort of straight pull NOW? It was determined between the World Wars that if you want quick follow-up shots, use an autoloader. A typical bolt gun is just as quick if you have to reacquire your target between shots. I've used Swiss and Austria-Hungary straight pulls and never saw ANY speed improvement.
The bolt dosen't have a locking mechanism, I'd be worried about it moving throw thick brush
The bolt locks when fully forward, and can only be released by pulling the trigger, with safety off or pushing the unlock release button on the back of the bolt.
It is actually more secure than a standard bolt action rifle. My question to you is are you walking through dense brush with a round chambered??? If so are you walking with it slung on your shoulder? I ask because I have seen standard bolt rifles strapped to a hiking pack get pulled open in light brush so point not valid. Not all bolt rifles have bolt locks.
Who the hell needs this? Savage makes many left hand models (I own MANY) and has been innovative in ways other gun makers have not been. At some point though, companies that make firearms, ammo, optics and other sporting goods reach a bit too far in creating demand for something for which there is simply no need. Savage marketing would be FAR better served in other efforts instead of grasping at straws like this.
You’re right. It’s something different to create demand. What they don’t tell you about straight pulls is that the linear travel of the bolt is longer due to the distance needed to unlock the lugs. You are better off with a short throw bolt action rifle like a Tikka, Ruger American, or Browning X-Bolt.
I really don’t think there’s much benefit to this. Tiny speed increase maybe over someone who doesn’t know how to run a bolt. Their marketing slogan should be “it’s not better but it’s different”.
Basically. Straight pull rifles have been around forever. Since WW1 or at least WW2, one of those two. If it made a really significant difference then every country back then that used a bolt action service rifle would've switched to straight pull.
@@DrownInLysergicthat is where you are wrong, many did or tried, but they were expensive.
America, Austria, Switzerland lands, more heavily Canada but all of the British empire, I'm sure you get the point.
Tactically they were a little better and did make a difference, typcially it was given to more specialized troops like marines, light infantry or mountaineers.
USMC 6mm Lee rifles which were using a very a good cartridge, effective bit Spanish forces in devastating volly firing in Cuba 1000-2000 meters. Now I know many bolt actions were given iron sights to this range but none succeeded quite like this 6mm lee straight pull or really any straight pulls cause they we're very good at this.
But it was way more expensive. By ww1 they simplified production to the main bolt actions. Post war there was alot of surplus so no reason to make adopt new rifles km in the 1920s or that was the general attitude, 1930s saw the great depression.
