The Savage B Series Timberlite Thumbhole .17 HMR is a bolt-action rimfire that pairs a threaded 18-inch barrel with a gray and black spiderweb wood thumbhole stock (Savage part no. 70818). Savage builds it around a heavy carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel, so it suits shooters who want a distinctive, capable varmint and small game rifle. The ambidextrous thumbhole stock gives a steady grip for bench work and field shooting alike. Thread-in headspacing and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger round out a rifle aimed at precise, repeatable shots on small targets.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .17 HMR, a fast, flat-shooting rimfire cartridge popular for varmints and small game.
• The barrel is 18 inches long, a handy length that still gives the .17 HMR room to build velocity.
• The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and ships with a thread cap, ready for a muzzle device or suppressor.
• The barrel is carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel in a heavy contour, which adds rigidity and helps hold accuracy through a string of shots.
• Rate of twist is 1:9 inches, suited to the bullet weights this cartridge uses.
• Capacity is 10 rounds from a rotary magazine, enough for a full session of varmint work.
• The stock is an ambidextrous hardwood thumbhole in a gray and black spiderweb finish, built to suit right and left-handed shooters.
• The user-adjustable AccuTrigger breaks between 2.5 and 6 pounds, so the pull can be set to the shooter.
• Thread-in headspacing sets the barrel precisely to the receiver for tighter, more consistent tolerances.
• Two sling studs come installed, and the rifle weighs 5.3 pounds before an optic is added.
