    Anybody seen or handled one of the new Savage Impulse straight-pull bolt action rifles yet? Or, are they available yet?

    I'm new to Texas Gun Talk, but I've been hunting and shooting (more of the latter than the former) for more than 60 years, but I'm still learning. Hope to learn a lot more from the folks here.

    The “Impulse” is supposed to drop this March. I want to like this rifle; but the aluminum receiver just killed it for me.

    Why? Because if I’m going to shoot high pressure magnum cartridges it will be out of a steel receiver, and as others have added..a proven design. Being a beta tester for the Savage Impulse isn’t on my to do list. Mine is just an opinion, please feel free to explore the Savage Impulse.

    I have never shot a 300WM out of a mossberg 500. You?
    Well, I tried, but the firing pin would not strike the primer and the round just slid out the muzzle end.
    Do you realize the AR-10 in all it’s chamberings (including 300 WM) utilizes bolt to barrel lockup and an aluminum receiver?
    Do you also mistrust those new-fangled polymer pistols?

    And not a single one of your examples is a straight pull back rifle chambered in 300WM..but ok. And I carry a Glock. Not a Glock pull back rifle mind you..it is just a 9mm.

    The aluminum receiver makes no more difference for a straight pull than it does for any other bolt gun. All the pressure is held by steel.
