SAVAGE B17 Precision Bolt Action Rifle - 17 HMR

The American manufacturer SAVAGE is characterized by having an extensive catalog of 17 HMR caliber rifles. Savage's B-series guns offer exceptional performance and with the new Precision series they go to a new level, providing more possibilities in precision shooting with rimfire calibers.

The Savage B17 Precision in 17HMR caliber mounts a heavy-type carbon steel barrel, 457 mm (18”) long, manufactured using the “button rifling” technique, in which SAVAGE is a true specialist. The barrel comes threaded at its end with a thread cover, and the thread pitch is ½ - 28.

The most striking element of this Savage B17 Precision rifle is the aluminum chassis on which it is mounted. This is the result of collaboration with a third party, specifically with the prestigious Canadian company Modular Driven Technologies (MDT). Its main advantage is the contribution of rigidity to the assembly, which obviously translates into an improvement in precision. All this without the weight of the set exceeding too much, since it only weighs 3.4 Kg, a good figure for a precision rifle that mounts a heavy barrel.

The stock allows several customization options, on the one hand, its length can be varied by adding or removing the supplied spacers. On the other hand, the height of the cheek piece can also be adjusted using two Allen head screws. This makes it easier to adapt to the morphology of any type of owner. The polymer and rubber pistol grip is also made of MDT and has a screed of material on both sides, to accommodate both right- and left-handed shooters.

Also note that the handguard has numerous perforations that follow the MLOK pattern. As for the magazine, it is removable, rotary with 10 cartridges. Comes standard with one-piece Picatinny rail mounted on the action.

The action is simple, with a bolt whose locking action is a little less than 90°, this has a single rear locking lug, which locks the action behind the shaft and the freely rotating bolt head. As in the rest of the SAVAGE range of rifles, the connection between the barrel and the action is made using a nut, which provides precise headspace.

Another element responsible for its good precision is its shooting system. It is called AccuTrigger, which appeared in 2002 for SAVAGE rifles. This is characterized by its ultra-short travel and breakage like a glass rod, clean and consistent. It has a safety integrated into the trigger called AccuRelease, like modern polymer pistols, making its behavior simulate a two-stroke trigger. It is customizable by the user, in terms of its weight, from 0.68 Kg (1.5 pounds) to 2.27 Kg (5 pounds).

The B17 models complement the AccuRelease with a safety located behind the action, with a two-position sliding button. This gives you ambidextrous access to the safety, visually revealing a red dot when in fire condition.
