Bolt-Action

When Savage Arms released their Impulse straight-pull rifle in early 2021 I never imagined my 6.5 Creedmoor might be the first one to make it to the plains of Africa, or that my first-time hunting friend would claim first blood with it.

I will admit, I was hesitant to see what a Springfield Armory bolt action might produce when it was announced late last year. It’s not that Springfield Armory isn’t capable, it’s that the bolt action market is both finicky and saturated.

Strasser rifles are made in Austria, a country known for high-quality firearms, and the RS14 Evolution certainly fits that bill. I’m not sure what the company meant by the “RS” designation but after evaluating the Evolution I think it should stand for “Really Smooth,” “Remarkably Slick,” or something along those lines.

For your next barrel replacement, upgrade to an old rifle, or new gun build, don’t hesitate to contact Preferred Barrel Blanks and make them your preferred supplier.

The new Savage Arms IMPULSE rifles are a whole new breed of rifle that raises the market to a new level. It’s really slick, very fast to operate, incredibly accurate; perhaps the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.

Extremely useful as trainers for both PRS competition and hunting, not to mention as stand-alone rifles for the NLR22 series, these rifles are gaining in popularity. The unfortunate part of this was that to get a truly perfect, size correct traine…

I like the Savage 110 Scout. The imbedded rubber gripping surfaces and AccuFit features made for a perfect fit. The trigger is good and the cost is affordable. It’s a good shooting handy rifle with nice look.

If you’re in the market for a rifle to compete in a PRS Base Class or the NRL, the Savage 110 Elite Precision is an excellent choice. It’s is an out-of-the-box option for new and experienced shooters alike.

I fondly remember picking up my grandfathers old dusty, faded hunting magazines and reading about hunting rifles. Unless you were buying a rifle from Kenny Jarrett, or other custom builders, sub-MOA rifles were nary to be found. Sometime during the late 90’s or early 2000, factory rifles started to appear that could produce MOA results with factory ammunition. These days, companies guarantee MOA accuracy and owners seem to fly into a fit of panic if their new rifle fails to group 1.047 inches at 100 yards. I recently got to spend some time behind a Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and had no problems hitting a 24-inch plate at 1,800 yards. How times have changed.
