When it comes to managing a woodchuck problem at 150 yards or taking a coyote skirting a field edge, this rifle is engineered for the task. The .17 WSM round exits the muzzle at over 3,000 feet per second—that’s flatter trajectory and more decisive impact than traditional rimfires. The 22-inch heavy barrel provides stability and mitigates heat, so your third or fourth shot is as true as your first. The rifle’s stainless steel construction shrugs off Missouri’s variable weather, from damp mornings to dusty afternoons. At a weight around 5.5 pounds, it’s easy to carry on a long patrol of fence lines. The price point of $402.78 makes it a serious tool, not just a range toy.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the landowner, farmer, or dedicated predator hunter who needs reach and authority beyond a .22 LR or .17 HMR. It’s for the shooter who understands that a bolt-action is the foundation of precision and wants a dedicated platform for the potent .17 WSM cartridge. If your scenario involves making clean, ethical shots on small pests and predators at extended rimfire distances, this Savage B.Mag is your implement.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional flat-shooting performance for a rimfire; the AccuTrigger is a standout feature for a rifle in this class; the stainless steel barrel offers durability with minimal maintenance; the 8-round rotary magazine is reliable and sleek. Cons: Ammunition is specialized and not as ubiquitous as .22 LR; the bolt throw is long, which can slow follow-up shots compared to a short-action centerfire; the synthetic stock is functional but basic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the .17 WSM compare to a .223 Remington for varmints?
A: The .17 WSM offers similar trajectory to a light .223 load but with significantly less report and recoil, and no centerfire brass to chase. It’s a superb intermediate choice where the power of a .22 LR is insufficient, but a centerfire is overkill or too loud.
Q: Can I use a standard .17 HMR scope on this rifle?
A: Absolutely. Any quality rimfire or standard scope rated for the recoil of a lightweight centerfire (like a .223) will work. Look for models from Vortex or Leupold with adjustable parallax, as you’ll be shooting at varied distances where precise focus matters.
Q: Is the magazine difficult to load?
A: Not at all. The rotary design is intuitive—you simply depress the cartridge into the rotor until it clicks into place. It’s a robust system that feeds smoothly and protects the cartridge tips, a common issue in some box magazines.
Here’s the thing—this rifle fills a specific niche with focused efficiency. It transforms the rimfire category from close-range plinking to serious field work.
