Anyone know any Savage insiders,
That could be asked if Savage has looked into using the Impulse design, for modification into a lever gun ?
If they would use a round reciever, keep the barrel nut, have a magpul center feed magizine or even the snap together thin sheet metal magizine, you would think, it would be feasible, very feasible, and just as important, should be very cost effective.
They would have most of the parts readily available, other than the lever, some additional linkage to mate the lever and bolt together,the trigger group, and the stock.
I would, God forgive me, even accept a synthetic stock .
With that, and in my best James Garner impression,
OK, go ahead!
