Savage Arms IMPULSE HOG HUNTER

Price from: €0

The Savage IMPULSE is Savage's first American-made straight-pull rifle, combining the safety and accuracy of a traditional bolt action with a bolt speed approaching that of a semi-automatic. The IMPULSE straight-pull action delivers speed and precision without compromise.

The IMPULSE Hog Hunter: when clearing hogs is a necessity. Hogs rarely appear alone, and the IMPULSE's speed allows hunters to get back on target fast for a follow-up shot. The action is purpose-built for wild boar hunting.

Shotgun shell gauges

In the context of shotguns, bore size is not measured in millimeters, as it is with handguns or rifles. Instead, a traditional system based on the weight of a lead sphere is used. This method classifies shotguns according to the number of lead spheres, all with the same diameter as the gun's bore, that can be obtained from one pound of lead. Thus, the bore designation reflects the number of spheres that can be made from that amount of lead.
