Savage needs to buy a scale or fire attorneys

Not sure where the 11lb figure is coming from. According to the Savage website the Impulse rifles range from 8.4-8.8 pounds. What is strange is that Savage lists all 3 versions at 3.63kg, which is 8lb on the nose. Still a fairly heavy rifle, but not unmanageable.

They have corrected their site. Initial publish was 11

All good

It will be interesting to see what it actually weighs.

I give them credit for developing the rifle. Interested to look one over and unless there is something really not to like can see buying one

Sounds like somebody needs to workout / exercise so they can carry a couple extra pounds. The only lite weight rifles that I own are 22 lr's.

Alright Texas
Come pack that heavy rifle around at 8000 feet in the northwest.
I'll routinely climb 1500' of vertical and cover up to 8 miles a day chasing elk.
9lbs scoped is the heaviest I'll go

I put 4 pounds of cemented tungsten into my 338 LM, sounds like they're just saving me the trouble this time around.

I'm seeing it weighing between 8-9 lbs from gun magazine reviews.

I can't see what savage website lists it because my iPhone won't let me go to the site due to viruses LOL maybe they should hire a software guy

The shotgun from Savage was really strange. I've wondered how that happened? Maybe there was a hidden purpose for such a gun.

Ha Ha, I'll pass.
I'm not a mountain goat. The last elk I shot was in Northeast N.M. in a rancher's pasture. There were probably 60 elk out there migrating through. I walked 75-100 yards from my truck, picked out a good one to shoot, and rode on a tractor to retrieve it.

I've done the mountain hunt's in my younger years, but not anymore.

Sounds like you're a heck of a lot smarter than me

I would wager that the 11lbs came from shipping weight.

There's been some critics of Randy Wakemen.

Who the hell is Randy Wakeman????

I am glad I am not alone.

So your not surprised it weighs 11lbs?

I have an AR15 that weighs over 11 pounds. Add another few pounds when loaded. (That's Wyoming loaded, not Colorado loaded.) I built it heavy for shooting prairie dogs. Sometimes heavy is good.
