The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter in .308 Winchester is a straight-pull rifle with an 18-inch threaded barrel and an OD green stock, built for hunters who need fast follow-up shots on hogs and predators (Savage part no. 57653). The ambidextrous action runs with a round knob bolt handle, and a flush-fit detachable 4-round box magazine feeds it. A one-piece 20 MOA Picatinny rail is machined into the receiver, so an optic mounts directly. The AccuFit stock and a light AccuTrigger keep it comfortable and quick to get on target.
