Savage 93r17 Minimalist Bolt-Action Rifle, .17 HMR, Brown Finish (Model 96637)$351.27
Availability: In Stock
The Savage 93R17 BVSS is a dedicated .17 HMR bolt-action rifle built for serious small-game hunters and precision rimfire shooters. This is a purpose-built platform for varmint control and hunting rabbits, squirrels, and similar game where the flat trajectory and minimal recoil of the .17 HMR really shine. The stainless steel barrel and receiver stand up to the elements and corrosive rimfire ammunition without rust, while the grey laminate wood stock adds durability and a rugged aesthetic that handles field use.
With a 21-inch barrel and overall length of 39.75 inches, the 93R17 BVSS strikes a balance between velocity and maneuverability in the field. The rifle weighs in at 6 pounds, making it light enough to carry all day without fatigue. The 1:9 twist rate is optimized for .17 HMR ammunition, ensuring stable, accurate bullet flight across the cartridge's range of factory loads. The 5-round magazine capacity is standard for this class of rifle and plenty for hunting applications where follow-up shots are rarely needed.
Bolt-action rifles like the 93R17 BVSS reward precision shooting—there's no gas system or complex mechanics, just a mechanical manual action that's inherently reliable and easy to maintain. If you're looking for a dedicated rimfire platform that doesn't compromise on build quality or corrosion resistance, this Savage delivers the accuracy and toughness you'd expect from the brand.

The .17 HMR is a rimfire cartridge designed for small-game hunting and varmint control. It's commonly used for rabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, and similar game. The cartridge offers a flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making it ideal for precision shooting at moderate distances.
Rimfire ammunition can be corrosive due to its priming compound, and stainless steel resists the rust and pitting that would affect a traditional blued barrel over time. This makes the 93R17 BVSS a better long-term investment for shooters who use it regularly.
Yes. The Savage 93R17 BVSS is designed as a hunting rifle. The .17 HMR is legal and effective for small-game hunting in most states. Always check your local regulations before hunting.
The 1:9 twist rate describes how quickly the rifling spins a bullet as it travels down the barrel. This twist rate is optimized for .17 HMR ammunition to provide stable, accurate bullet flight.
