Description
The Savage A Series Magnum 17 HM2 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle with a 20-inch sporter carbon steel barrel, a black synthetic sporter stock, a 10-round rotary magazine, and 2-piece weaver-style scope bases for easy optic mounting. It weighs about 5.7 lbs and is built to deliver fast follow-up shots with real accuracy.
Savage A Series Magnum 17 HM2 Overview
The A Series Magnum combines the punch of a magnum rimfire cartridge with the speed of Savage’s delayed-blowback semi-automatic action. It was built from the ground up for high-pressure rimfire rounds rather than adapted from a 22 LR design. The 17 HM2, also called the 17 Mach 2, is a necked-down 22 LR case that drives a light bullet much faster and flatter than standard 22 rounds, so it is a quiet, inexpensive choice for squirrels and small pests out to about 125 yards.
Semi-Auto Action
The delayed-blowback action holds the bolt closed a fraction longer than a simple blowback design, which is what lets this rifle run safely and reliably with high-pressure magnum rimfire loads. A hard chrome bolt and case-hardened receiver resist wear, and the thread-in headspace system mirrors the way Savage builds its centerfire rifles for consistent accuracy.
Barrel
The 20-inch sporter carbon steel barrel has a 1:9″ twist matched to 17 HM2 bullets and a matte finish. The sporter profile keeps the rifle light and well balanced for carrying in the field.
Stock and Fit
The black synthetic sporter stock is tough, lightweight, and weather resistant, so it will not swell or warp in rain or humidity. Sling studs make it easy to add a sling for carrying in the field. A 13.5″ length of pull fits a wide range of adult shooters.
Trigger
Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you set your own pull weight for a crisp, clean break, a big advantage on small targets at long range. The center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge, and the light, predictable pull helps you shoot this rifle as accurately as it is capable of shooting.
Rotary Magazine
The 10-round rotary magazine feeds smoothly and sits nearly flush with the bottom of the stock, so it does not snag on brush or get in the way when shooting from a rest. Carry a spare or two for long days in a prairie dog town, and drop the magazine to unload quickly and safely between stands.
Optics Ready
Two-piece Weaver-style bases come installed from the factory, so mounting a rimfire scope is quick and simple. Pair the rifle with a quality rimfire scope to take full advantage of its accuracy.
Care and Cleaning
Rimfire ammunition leaves more fouling than most centerfire loads, so a little routine care keeps the Savage A Series Magnum 17 HM2 cycling smoothly and shooting accurately. After a range session, wipe down the bolt and chamber area, run a few patches through the bore, and put a light coat of oil on exposed metal. Store the rifle in a dry place, check that the action screws stay snug, and it will give you years of dependable service.
