Description
The Savage A17 Target Thumbhole 17 HMR is a semi-automatic 17 HMR rifle with a 22-inch fluted heavy target barrel, a gray wood laminate thumbhole stock, and a 10-round rotary magazine. It is built for shooters who want precision and fast follow-up shots in one rifle, whether they are clearing a pasture of groundhogs or chasing small groups at the range.
Savage A17 Target Thumbhole 17 HMR Overview
The A Series Target Thumbhole is Savage’s precision-focused semi-auto rimfire, and in 17 HMR it uses the A17’s delayed-blowback action to safely handle the cartridge’s higher pressure. The bolt stays locked a moment longer before cycling, which keeps the action reliable and reduces wear. The thumbhole stock and heavy fluted barrel add stability, so each shot breaks from a steady, consistent hold.
Fluted Heavy Target Barrel
The 22-inch carbon steel barrel has a heavy target contour with straight fluting that sheds weight and adds surface area for cooling. It is button-rifled with a 1:9 twist matched to 17-caliber bullets and finished in high luster bluing. The heavy profile resists heat and whip, helping the rifle hold its group through a long string of shots.
Gray Laminate Thumbhole Stock
The gray wood laminate stock has a thumbhole grip that puts your hand in a natural, near-vertical position for a straight-back trigger press. Laminate is stiff and resists moisture and warping better than solid wood. Three QD stud points give you room for a sling and a bipod, and a recoil pad finishes the butt.
Hard Chrome Bolt and Case-Hardened Receiver
A hard chrome bolt with an oversized handle makes charging the rifle easy, and the case-hardened receiver adds durability for years of use. Two-piece Weaver-style scope bases come installed, so you can mount your optic right away.
User-Adjustable Trigger
The Savage AccuTrigger lets you set pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds for a crisp, light break. On a small target at distance, a clean trigger is often the difference between a hit and a miss, and the center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge.
Rotary Magazine and Practice
The rifle feeds from a 10-round rotary magazine with an ambidextrous release. Try a few 17 HMR loads to find the one your barrel prefers, then pair the rifle with a quality scope to make the most of the cartridge’s flat trajectory past 150 yards. A bipod attached to the front stud and a rear bag make it easy to settle in for careful, precise shots from the prone position or a shooting bench.
