I've been seeing some new Savage Impulses on clearance sales for very attractive prices lately. Just curious if many have built off the platform. I think it would make a slick 6x284! Any feedback would be great.
Savage Impulse builds?

Many people not sold on the rifle/action yet.
Not selling like they thought they would, hence the clearance sales.
And I don't know of anyone making barrels for it, aside from Savage.

Interesting. There may be some negative ones I haven`t seen, but the reviews I`ve read have been positive, even on traditionally anti-Savage sites like Sniper`s Hide.
There are a lot of innovations in that action. I am a big Savage fan and have built many using their action, except for the Impulse, but it is on my list. If you want it and it meets your preference/price point, go for it. I would not pay attention to what others think or the sales projections.
Yep! Nothing/no one is safe/immune to negativity.
I might just snatch one up and give it a try. Really been wanting to build another 6x284 on a savage short action but the suitable donor rifles I've seen locally will cost me more than this by the time I replace the stock and trigger.
HELLYEAH! I am excited for you. Please keep us posted.

Agree, let us know what happens
#1 is a minor issue, at least for me. I always change the factory nut anyway.
#2 is not a Savage problem (short thread, as the poster identified). As far as Savage not sharing their information, it's a proprietary design, and they do not have to share it.
But this is just me. Cheers!

I'll do some evening Google fu, but wasn't there a guy on predator masters that did a couple?
When I had a 6-284, last thing needed was a faster action. Was so much fun in the alfalfa barrels were not long for this world...

Agree. The video is someone who is learning. I turned off his second video in the series when he was hand threading. To me, that's a last resort. He could have just ordered a PTG .187 lug.
Thought about buying the 30-06 at $710. It's very tempting, but it doesn't come in LH configuration, I still have two builds I need to complete and a '59 model 1894 lift gate to repair.
Or he should have ordered the barrel with the correct thread length?
One of the innovations is its ambidextrous feature.
