The heart of this rifle is its 21-inch blued barrel, which provides an optimal length for the .17 HMR to reach its high-velocity potential—often over 2,500 fps. That long, slender profile isn’t just for looks; it aids in accuracy and helps manage the cartridge’s minimal recoil. Weighing in at roughly six pounds, it’s easy to carry all day but remains steady for offhand shots. The synthetic stock is purely functional, free from frills, which is how Savage keeps the cost down. Here’s the thing—you’re getting a proven, reliable action and that fantastic AccuTrigger, not cheaping out on the fundamentals.

Who This Rifle Is For

This is the ideal first rifle for a new hunter or a perfect dedicated tool for the experienced varminter on a budget. If you need to control ground squirrels, prairie dogs, or raccoons on your property, the 93R17 FXP offers precision that far outpaces its $292.24 price tag. It’s also a superb, low-cost trainer for developing marksmanship fundamentals before stepping up to a larger centerfire caliber. For Missouri hunters targeting small game like squirrels or rabbits at extended ranges, this package eliminates guesswork and extra expense.

Pros & Cons: The Practical Tradeoffs

Pros: The value is undeniable. You get a shooting-ready system with a decent scope for less than many bare rifles. The AccuTrigger is a massive upgrade over typical rimfire triggers. The .17 HMR is devastatingly effective on varmints. It’s lightweight, simple to operate, and fits out of the box with no extra purchases needed to start shooting.

Cons: To hit this price, compromises exist. The included scope is functional but basic; serious long-range shooters may eventually upgrade to optics from brands like Vortex or Leupold. The synthetic stock is utilitarian and may not win beauty contests. .17 HMR ammo, while cheaper than centerfire, costs more than .22 LR. That said, you’re paying for performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the scope really ready to shoot?

A: Yes. The scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory. This means it should be on paper at 25-50 yards, allowing you to fine-tune zero at the range. It’s a true ready-to-hunt package, saving you time and the cost of a gunsmith visit.

Q: How does the .17 HMR compare to a .22 Magnum?

A: The .17 HMR fires a smaller, lighter bullet at much higher velocity. This results in a flatter trajectory (less holdover) and more explosive impact on small pests. Wind drift can be a factor with the lightweight bullet, but for most varmint hunting within 150 yards, the .17 HMR’s performance is superior.

Q: Can I use other scope rings or bases on this rifle?

A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard rimfire scope bases. The included setup uses Savage’s one-piece base, but you can easily swap it for popular models from Weaver or Leupold if you choose to upgrade your optics later.

When you stack up the features—the adjustable trigger, the included optic, the potent caliber—against the sub-$300 price, the Savage 93R17 FXP represents one of the best values in the rimfire hunting world. It’s a focused tool that does its job exceedingly well without draining your wallet.
