The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter is a straight-pull bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum (brand part no. 57656), built for hunters who need to send a fast follow-up shot at a moving hog without ever breaking their sight picture. Savage’s Impulse action trades the usual rotating bolt handle for a straight rearward pull, letting a shooter cycle nearly as quickly as a semi-auto while keeping true bolt-action reliability and accuracy. The 24-inch barrel wraps in an OD Green synthetic stock built for low-light hunts and rough field use, and a 3+1 round detachable box magazine keeps multiple hogs in a sounder on the table. Right-handed shooters get a dedicated hog gun that closes the speed gap between bolt guns and semi-autos without giving up long-range accuracy.
