For years, the knock on semi-auto rimfires was that they couldn't safely run 17 HMR. Savage fixed that with the A17, the first autoloader designed from the ground up around the cartridge, and the Target Sporter version takes that platform and points it squarely at accuracy. Instead of a standard blowback design, the A17 uses a delayed-blowback action with a lock-delay system that keeps the bolt closed until pressure drops, so it cycles magnum rimfire loads reliably shot after shot. Pair that with the flat trajectory and zippy velocity of 17 HMR and you get quick follow-up shots on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and steel without working a bolt.
The 22 inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel wears a heavy target profile with a 1:9 twist, and it soaks up heat during longer strings better than a pencil-thin sporter barrel. The hard chrome bolt features dual controlled round feed and an oversized handle that's easy to run with gloves on, while the case-hardened receiver comes drilled and tapped so mounting a scope is simple. There are no iron sights on this one, and that's by design. This rifle is meant to wear glass. Feeding comes from a 10-round detachable rotary magazine that sits flush and keeps the profile clean. Then there's the AccuTrigger, which lets you dial in a crisp, light pull yourself without a trip to a gunsmith. It's one of the best factory triggers in the rimfire world and a big reason these rifles shoot as well as they do.
The satin gray wood laminate stock isn't just there to look sharp, though it does. Laminate resists swelling and warping in wet or humid conditions far better than solid walnut, so your point of impact stays put when the weather turns. Sling swivel studs come standard, the 13.5 inch length of pull fits most adults comfortably, and at 6.83 pounds the rifle has enough heft to settle on bags without being a chore to carry to a field position. For anyone who wants a dedicated 17 HMR that runs fast and prints tight groups, this one checks the boxes.
No, it ships without iron sights or optics. The case-hardened receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so plan on adding bases, rings, and glass. When choosing rings, go tall enough to clear the heavy barrel and still allow bolt removal, since some low and medium ring setups can get tight on this rifle.
In this rifle, yes. The A17 was the first semi-auto designed from the ground up for 17 HMR, using a delayed-blowback action that keeps the bolt locked until chamber pressure drops to a safe level. That solves the problem that plagued earlier straight-blowback attempts at the cartridge.
It runs standard 17 HMR loads, and CCI's A17 ammunition was developed specifically for this rifle, so that's a great place to start. Owners regularly report tight groups at 100 yards with quality 17 HMR from CCI and Hornady. As with any rimfire, try a few loads to see what your particular barrel prefers.
It splits the difference nicely. At 6.83 pounds the rifle is steady on bags and resists heat buildup during longer range sessions, but it's still light enough to carry for varmint and small game work. The laminate stock is also more stable than solid wood in damp weather, which helps your zero stay consistent in the field.
