About This Firearm
The Savage Impulse KLYM is a carbon-stocked straight-pull bolt-action 6.5 PRC built for high-country hunting. It has an MSRP of $3,599. The bolt cycles straight back and straight forward with no handle to lift, so a second shot does not need the hand off the grip or the cheek off the stock.
Almost everything is fitted already. The receiver is aluminum with a one-piece 20 MOA rail machined into it, the muzzle is 5/8-24 under an Omniport brake, and the AccuTrigger goes down to 1.5 lbs. Comb height changes with one button, and both the magazine release and the bolt handle work either-handed, the handle threading into either side of the bolt with a carbon fiber knob. A 2-position tang safety is the last control, and no sights come on the rifle.
If you're cross-shopping, the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint has an MSRP of $1,995, is 0.44 lbs heavier and carries a .75 MOA accuracy guarantee. The Seekins Precision Havak Pro Hunter 3 has an MSRP of $1,895 at 7.50 lbs and lets the owner change barrels and cartridges at a bench. The extra money on the KLYM goes on the straight-pull action and the PROOF Research barrel.

Strengths & Limitations
- Two sling studs and Savage's Magnaswitch system are built into the stock.
- The receiver carries its own 20 MOA rail, so rings are the whole mounting cost and there is no base joint to work loose.
- Savage lists the barrel contour as Sendero Lite, and the rifle is finished in Blackout Cerakote.
- The magazine holds two rounds, one fewer than the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint, on an action sold for follow-up speed.
- Length of pull is fixed at 13.75 inches with no spacers, so the comb is the one dimension that moves.
- At 47.5 inches overall it is a long rifle for its weight, because the brake and the 24-inch barrel both add length ahead of the action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a left-handed shooter use it?
Yes. Savage lists the rifle as ambidextrous, with a removable bolt handle that threads into either side of the bolt and an ambidextrous magazine release.
Does the brake come off?
It threads onto a 5/8-24 muzzle, so it unscrews and a suppressor mount cut for the same thread goes on in its place.
Is the US rifle the same as the international one?
Yes. The international version carries the same specifications as the US rifle.
