The Savage 93R17 FV .17 HMR Heavy-Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle, 21-Inch Barrel (Savage part no. 96700) is a rimfire rifle built for varmint control and bench shooting. The 93R17 FV puts a heavy varmint-contour barrel on a black synthetic varmint-style stock, with scope bases listed from the factory. Carbon steel in a matte black finish keeps the look plain and the glare low, and the heavier barrel gives it a steadier feel off a rest.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .17 HMR, a flat-shooting rimfire cartridge that suits varmint and small-game work at distance.
• The barrel is a 21-inch varmint-contour carbon steel barrel with a matte black finish, which sets how the rifle carries and how steady it holds on a rest.
• Capacity is 5 rounds in a detachable magazine, so reloads between strings are quick.
• The rate of twist is 1:9, matched by Savage to the bullets this cartridge is loaded with.
• The stock is a black matte synthetic varmint-style stock with a butt plate, which affects handling, weight and how the rifle shoulders.
• The AccuTrigger is user adjustable with a listed pull range of 2.5 to 6 pounds, so the break can be set to the shooter.
• Scope mounting is by a 2-piece Weaver-style scope base set, which makes fitting an optic simple.
• Overall length is 39.5 inches and weight is 5.5 pounds, which is what you will carry afield.
• Length of pull is 13.75 inches and the stock has 2 QD sling studs, so a sling mounts without drilling.
