This design dramatically increases cycling speed, enabling faster follow-up shots while maintaining the strength and accuracy Savage rifles are known for. The straight-pull action is especially beneficial for backcountry hunters who may need quick follow-up shots on game in dynamic situations.

7mm Backcountry – Efficient Long-Range Performance
The 7mm Backcountry is a modern, efficient cartridge designed specifically for backcountry hunting. It offers an excellent balance of velocity, energy, and manageable recoil in a lightweight package. The 7mm Backcountry delivers flat-shooting performance and strong terminal ballistics on medium to large game such as deer, elk, and black bear at practical hunting ranges. Its efficient design makes it an ideal choice for hunters who want magnum-like performance without the added weight and recoil of traditional magnum cartridges. The Impulse Core Hunter is perfectly matched to this cartridge, creating a fast-handling and effective backcountry rifle.
20-Inch Threaded Barrel
The 20-inch threaded barrel provides an excellent balance between velocity and overall rifle length. This barrel length allows the 7mm Backcountry to achieve strong muzzle velocities while keeping the rifle compact and easy to maneuver in rugged backcountry terrain. The threaded muzzle makes the rifle suppressor-ready, allowing hunters to reduce recoil and noise signature when desired for a more comfortable and discreet shooting experience.
