Description
The Savage 93R17 FV-SR 17 HMR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle with a 16.5-inch heavy carbon steel barrel, a black synthetic stock, a 5-round detachable box magazine, and a user-adjustable trigger. It weighs about 5.5 lbs and is built to shoot small groups.
Savage 93R17 FV-SR 17 HMR Overview
The Savage Model 93 has earned a reputation as one of the most accurate magnum rimfire bolt actions on the market. It pairs a strong, simple bolt design with a quality barrel and Savage’s adjustable trigger, so it shoots well right out of the box at a price that leaves room for good ammunition and optics. The 17 HMR fires a light, fast bullet with a remarkably flat trajectory, making it a favorite for groundhogs, prairie dogs, crows, and other small varmints out past 150 yards.
Barrel Built for Accuracy
The 16.5-inch heavy carbon steel barrel is button-rifled for consistent, uniform grooves, with a 1:9″ twist matched to 17 HMR bullets. The heavier profile resists heat and steadies the rifle, which helps hold groups tight from a rest. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 for a suppressor or muzzle device where local law allows.
Stock and Fit
The black synthetic stock is tough, lightweight, and weather resistant, so it will not swell or warp in rain or humidity. It shrugs off bumps and scrapes in the truck or the field. A 13.75-inch length of pull fits a wide range of shooters.
Optics Ready
A one-piece scope rail comes installed, giving you a solid foundation for a rimfire scope or red dot. A quality scope is the best way to take advantage of the accuracy built into this rifle.
User-Adjustable Trigger
The Savage AccuTrigger lets you set your own pull weight for a crisp, clean break. A light, predictable trigger makes a big difference on small targets, and the center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge.
Detachable Magazine
The rifle feeds from a 5-round detachable box magazine that sits low and out of the way. Spare magazines make range sessions more productive, and removing the magazine makes unloading quick and safe between hunts.
Choosing Ammunition
Rimfire rifles often prefer one load over another, so try a few brands of 17 HMR to see which groups best in your barrel. Lighter, faster bullets are great for small pests, while heavier bullets buck the wind better. Pair the rifle with a solid rest and a quality optic, and you will be surprised how far you can make precise hits.
Care and Cleaning
Rimfire ammunition is dirtier than most centerfire loads, so a little routine care keeps the Savage 93R17 FV-SR 17 HMR running smoothly and shooting accurately. After a range day, run a few patches through the bore from the breech end, wipe down the bolt, and add a light coat of oil to metal surfaces. Check that the action screws stay snug, store the rifle in a dry place, and it will deliver years of dependable service in the field and on the bench.
