The Hammerli Arms Force B1 is a bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 LR (brand part no. 5800300), built by the storied Swiss precision brand now operating under the Walther Arms umbrella. Its 16-inch barrel keeps the rifle compact for easy handling at the range or in the field, while a notably fast 1:6-inch rate of twist stabilizes heavier subsonic .22 LR loads that slower-twist rimfire barrels can struggle to shoot accurately. A 10-round magazine keeps range sessions moving without constant reloading, and the classic black-and-wood color scheme gives the Force B1 a traditional look with modern manufacturing behind it. For rimfire shooters who want genuine precision heritage in an approachable, compact package, the Force B1 delivers Hammerli’s reputation in a rifle built for everyday shooting.
