Savage Impulse Mountain Hunter | .308 Win | Carbon Fiber Barrel

The Savage Impulse Mountain Hunter is a purpose-built bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .308 Winchester that pairs a Proof Research carbon-fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel with Savage’s AccuStock/AccuFit system for adjustable fit and three-dimensional bedding. It combines a straight-pull bolt action and an aluminum receiver with an integral 20 MOA rail to facilitate optic mounting. A durable gray synthetic stock, user-adjustable AccuTrigger and factory muzzle brake are among the features oriented toward field use in rugged, high-altitude conditions. A capable optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50, which offers the magnification range and glass quality suitable for the rifle’s effective envelope.
