The Savage B17 G .17 HMR is a traditional-looking bolt-action rimfire rifle with a 21-inch barrel, a walnut-stained hardwood stock and adjustable iron sights (Savage part no. 70810). Savage lists the B Series G for small game, target shooting and varmint hunting, and the hardwood stock sets it apart from the synthetic-stocked B17 models. It feeds from a 10-round magazine and the barrel carries a 1:9 rate of twist. Maker specs list an overall length of 39.75 inches and a weight of 6.4 pounds.

Key Specifications

• The rifle is chambered in .17 HMR, so only factory or handloaded ammunition of that designation belongs in it.
• Barrel length is 21 inches, which sets the handling and the overall length.
• The rate of twist is 1:9, the spin rate the barrel gives the bullet.
• Capacity is 10 rounds in a rotary magazine, enough for a long string between loads.
• The stock is walnut-stained hardwood with a satin finish and a recoil pad, a classic look on a rimfire.
• Sights are an adjustable open V-notch rear with a bead front, so the rifle is usable before an optic is mounted.
• A top tang safety sits at the rear of the receiver, within reach of the shooting hand.
• The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable, with a pull weight range of 2.5 to 6 pounds.
• Overall length is 39.75 inches, which sets how the rifle fits in a vehicle or blind.
• Weight is 6.4 pounds, a figure worth weighing against long carries.
