Savage is taking innovation and accuracy to new heights at faster speeds with the all-new Impulse KLYM. Built in the USA, every inch of the Impulse KLYM encompasses breakthrough technology for repeat accuracy and enhanced safety. With its exclusive Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel and FBT carbon fiber stock, KLYM can achieve lighter weights for higher altitude hunts and longer treks for big game. The straight pull action provides quick follow up shots and the ability to stay on target in a high adrenaline hunting scenario.
Savage’s Impulse rifles are built on decades of Savage innovation. Many features are familiar to Savage shooters—the factory blueprinted action, the floating bolt head, and even the adaptability of the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. Each of these elements works together with Impulse’s button rifled barrel to provide the level of accuracy Savage customers expect.
With Impulse KLYM’s straight-pull design comes exceptional safety with Hexlock. As the bolt closes into battery, Hexlock’s six hardened steel bearings secure the action. Inside the bolt, a plunger forces the ball-bearings on the bolt head into channels machined into the barrel extension. As the bolt handle moves forward, this plunger locks in place, creating pressure that provides Hexlock’s solid lockup.
When a round is fired, the expanding gases inside the chamber act on the bolthead, forcing it back onto the plunger, which adds even more pressure to the bearings, creating a lock-up that tightens relative to pressure increase. The system, during this cycle, cannot open. Yet as the round leaves the barrel and chamber pressure equalizes, Hexlock can be safely opened with a simple reverse movement of the bolt. With one swift rearward motion, the empty brass is ejected. To chamber another round, simply push the bolt forward again. The entire sequence takes a fraction of a second.
And Impulse’s multi-positional bolt handle can be aligned at several different angles, on either side of the bolt, according to personal preference. These options allow shooters to easily clear any optics, and the bolt handle can even be removed with the bolt closed on an empty chamber as an added safety measure. With the center-line placement of the two-position tang safety, every Impulse can be easily oriented for left- or right-handed shooters.
