So according to ShotShow or Shot Show 2020 , Savage is making their straight-pull Impulse action with a 30" barrel, AICS magazine in an MDT ACC chassis. The available calibers will be 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC 308, 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, and...338 Lapua.
I have their Impulse Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor with AICS magazines and I have verified that you can interchange barrels between the Impulse straight pull and the 110, providing they have the same shank size. The small shank is 300 Win Mag and down and the large shank is 300 WSM body size and up. I don't know what the 338 Lapua would be.
The MSRP is $2,619, which means it's likely going to be about $1,900 or so if it plays as the 110 Elite Precisions did.
I like the straight-pull action. It does take some practice to work it quickly as it is a very different motion. I also happen to have a brilliant Bartlein barrel with a Savage large shank.
What do you guys think? If it actually stays at $2,700 it's dead but at $1,800-1,900, where I picked mine up, it might go.
