Guns

In keeping with Browning’s penchant for continuously improving the X-Bolt line, that model has now evolved into the new X-Bolt Speed rifle.

While having no previous experience with a straight-pull rifle before testing this Savage, I have grown to love his design.

The world of hunting rifles tends to be relatively stable. We have single shots, bolt actions, lever guns, and a few semi-autos. Nothing crazy, and most hunters don’t seem to want anything crazy anyway. Well, Savage decided to shake things up with the Impulse. The Savage Impulse is a bolt action rifle but isn’t your traditional rotary bolt. Instead, Savage went with a straight-pull bolt.

Factory ammo is available in cast or jacketed, with bullet weights from 325gr. to 410gr., and velocities running 1200fps to 1350fps.

If I find myself needing some factory ammo to hunt with I’ll be looking for Accurate, Deadly, and Dependable; Hornady Handgun Hunter.

The most used and popular calibers, and those associated with handgun hunting, the 44’s and 45’s.

I had just shot the biggest black bear of my life. Thirty minutes later, I shot an even bigger one.
