Description
The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter .30-06 20in Threaded 4+1 is a straight-pull bolt action built for speed and terminal effect on tough game. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield with a 20-inch medium contour barrel, it delivers the velocity and energy needed for hogs out to 400 yards. The threaded muzzle accepts a suppressor or brake, and the 4+1 flush-fit mag keeps the profile slim. Per Savage specs, the adjustable AccuTrigger breaks clean between 2.5 and 6 pounds, and the 20 MOA rail is machined directly into the receiver for zero hold on long shots.

Key Features
- Straight-Pull Bolt Action – WHY IT MATTERS: No need to lift the bolt handle between shots. You cycle the action with a single forward-back stroke, keeping your eye on the target and your rifle on target for faster follow-ups on running hogs.
- Threaded 20-Inch Barrel (5/8×24) – WHY IT MATTERS: The medium contour barrel gives you enough weight for stability without being a boat anchor. Threading lets you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake, reducing recoil and signature in thick cover.
- AccuTrigger with Adjustable Pull Weight – WHY IT MATTERS: You dial in the trigger break from 2.5 to 6 pounds. A crisp, predictable trigger means you break shots without disturbing the sight picture, critical for precision on moving targets.
- 20 MOA Picatinny Rail (Integral) – WHY IT MATTERS: The rail is machined into the receiver, not bolted on, so there’s no shifting under recoil. The 20 MOA cant gives you enough elevation travel to dial out to 600+ yards with most LPVOs or scopes.
- AccuFit Stock with Adjustable Comb & LOP – WHY IT MATTERS: You can swap the comb height and length of pull inserts (included) to match your body and shooting position. A proper cheek weld means consistent eye alignment and repeatable accuracy.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a fast, flat-shooting .30-06 that can handle suppressor use. If you’re a hog hunter working thick brush or open fields, the straight-pull action shaves seconds off reloads. It’s also for the precision-minded shooter who wants a 20 MOA rail out of the box and a trigger that doesn’t need aftermarket work.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Straight-pull bolt is fast and intuitive. Threaded barrel ready for a can. AccuTrigger is clean and adjustable. Integral 20 MOA rail saves you $100+ on a separate mount. AccuFit stock dials in fit without tools.
Cons: The straight-pull action has more moving parts than a traditional turn-bolt, so it’s slightly heavier and requires more maintenance to keep dirt out. Not ideal for extreme dusty conditions without regular cleaning.

FAQ
Can I mount a suppressor on this barrel?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for .30-caliber suppressors. Just make sure your can supports .30-06 pressures and you’ll be good to go.
What scope mount works with the 20 MOA rail?
Any Picatinny-compatible scope ring or one-piece mount will fit. The integral 20 MOA rail means you don’t need a canted base; just use standard rings and you’ll have enough elevation for long-range shooting.
Is the straight-pull action reliable in wet or muddy conditions?
It’s reliable, but the straight-pull mechanism has more exposed slots than a traditional bolt. Keep it lubricated and clean after heavy use. For dry, dusty environments, it’s fine. For mud, a turn-bolt might be simpler to clear.
Does the stock come with extra comb inserts?
Yes. The AccuFit system includes multiple comb height and length-of-pull inserts in the box. You can adjust the comb from low to high and LOP from 12.5 to 14.5 inches.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle comes with a flush-fit detachable box magazine that holds 4 rounds. It fits flush with the stock for a clean profile.
