When the A17 came out, it solved a problem that had been bugging rimfire fans for years: how to run 17 HMR through a semi-auto safely and reliably. Savage built a delayed-blowback action from the ground up for the cartridge instead of trying to force it into a 22 LR platform, and the result cycles standard 17 HMR loads without drama. This Target Thumbhole version takes that proven action and dresses it up for serious accuracy work with a heavy fluted 22-inch barrel and a satin grey wood laminate stock.
The heavy button-rifled carbon steel barrel with a 1:9 twist does a lot of the work here. The extra weight up front settles the rifle on bags or a bipod and keeps your point of aim steady between shots, which matters when you are stretching a 17 HMR out past 150 yards on small targets. Savage's AccuTrigger lets you dial the pull down to your liking for a crisp, clean break, and the hard chrome bolt with an oversized handle runs smooth and cycles fast. The 10-round rotary magazine sits flush and feeds the rimmed 17 HMR case reliably, which is more than you can say for a lot of rimfire mag designs.
The grey laminate thumbhole stock is the standout feature on this model. Laminate is denser and more stable than standard hardwood, so it shrugs off humidity swings that can shift your zero, and the thumbhole grip puts your hand in a relaxed, repeatable position shot after shot. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no iron sights, so plan on topping it with a scope, which is exactly how a rifle like this should be set up. At just over 7 pounds bare, it carries fine for a walk around the back forty but really shines from a bench or prone position. For varmint hunters and paper punchers who want the speed of a semi-auto without giving up accuracy, this one checks all the boxes.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount a scope base and glass of your choice. Given the flat trajectory of the 17 HMR and the accuracy potential of this heavy barrel, a quality scope is the way to go.
Yes, and that is the whole point of this rifle. Savage designed the A17's delayed-blowback action specifically around the 17 HMR cartridge, unlike older semi-autos that were converted 22 LR platforms. It runs standard-velocity 17 HMR ammo reliably and safely, no special loads required.
You can. It comes with Savage's AccuTrigger, which is user-adjustable so you can set the pull weight to your preference. It breaks clean and crisp, which pairs nicely with the heavy target barrel when you are working on tight groups.
This rifle is built for varmint hunting and precision rimfire target work. The 17 HMR is a favorite for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small pests out to around 150 to 200 yards, and the semi-auto action gives you fast follow-up shots. The heavy fluted barrel and stable laminate stock also make it a great bench gun for punching paper.
