Savage straight pull ? - 01/01/21 03:42 PM
Anyone seen the new Savage straight pull bolt gun in person? I cant find it on their website, but I have seen a couple of videos on it. Looks like a neat design. Its ambidextrous so would be good for us lefties. Wondering what calibers it comes in?

It's called the impulse line. Not sure on calibers but on another forum it seems they pulled all the vids and pics. Think they ran into an issue. NOT SURE but that's what is being discussed on other sites.

That makes sense. Was wondering why they didnt have any information on their website.

Anything like a Schmidt-Rubin? I have one that was my grandfather's that was sporterized into .308. It's a unique action.
strait pull guns typically run into the issue that they still turn bolt lugs just use a cam to do it you don't get the leverage of a turning bolt , thus need to keep chamber cleaner , and use small base dies and full length size brass
if you want to look at an interesting strait pull the the Blaser R8 it does an expanding locking ring as the bolt is pushed forward it pushes the lock ring out into the bolt recess in the receiver
also the Magazine and trigger group are one part and drop out of the rifle together making the rifle shorter
