Description

Savage B17 Timber Tactical 17 HMR Overview
Savage has built a reputation for accurate, dependable firearms at fair prices, and the B Series Timber Tactical continues that tradition with practical features that matter in the field and at the range. It is the kind of gun that earns a permanent place in the safe because it simply works, shot after shot, without fuss or expensive upgrades. The 17 HMR launches a light, fast bullet on a remarkably flat trajectory, which makes it a favorite for groundhogs, prairie dogs, crows, and other small varmints out past 150 yards.
Barrel and Action
The 18-inch heavy carbon steel barrel has a matte finish and a 1:9″ twist matched to 17 HMR bullets. The heavier profile steadies the rifle and resists heat for tight groups from a rest. The muzzle is threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor where local law allows; suppressors are NFA items that require an approved ATF Form 4.
Stock and Fit
The od green laminate stock is built to handle real-world use, and laminate resists moisture and warping better than solid wood. Length of pull is 14.5″. Overall length is about 37.8″.
Sights and Optics
The rifle is ready for the sighting system that suits your use; check the specifications below for sights and mounting options.
Trigger
Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you set your own pull weight for a crisp, clean break, and the center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge. A light, predictable trigger makes accurate shooting much easier.
Capacity and Handling
The 10-round detachable magazine loads easily and makes unloading quick and safe. Spare magazines make range days more productive.
In the Field
Rimfire guns often prefer one load over another, so try a few brands of 17 HMR to find the one that groups best in your barrel. Pair it with a quality optic and a steady rest for the best results.
