The Magnum Research Magnum Lite rifle in .17 HMR (brand part no. SBA17HMH) is a straight-pull bolt-action platform built around a 19-inch barrel, giving shooters rapid, one-handed cycling without the traditional rotating bolt handle. Magnum Research cuts a 1:16-inch twist into the barrel and feeds the rifle from a 9-round magazine. Overall length runs 43.25 inches, and the rifle ships without factory sights for a clean optic mount. Among straight-pull semi-auto rifles category listings, the Magnum Lite is actually a bolt-action design that favors varmint hunters who want fast cycling without a semi-auto action.
