Savage Arms B.MAG 17 WSM Rimfire Rifle Sporter - 8 Rd, Model 96971$534.95
Availability: In Stock
The Savage Arms B.MAG Heavy Barrel in 17 WSM is a purpose-built rimfire rifle for shooters who want serious accuracy and minimal recoil. This right-handed sporter pairs Savage's proven B.MAG platform with a heavy barrel profile, delivering the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that pays off at distance or in competition. The 17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge hits harder than standard rimfires while staying controllable enough for extended shooting sessions—ideal for small game, varmint work, or simply ringing steel at the range.
What sets the B.MAG apart in the rimfire world is its no-compromise barrel. The heavy profile resists vibration and heat, translating to tighter groups and more forgiving shot placement than lightweight alternatives. Coupled with an 8-round magazine and Savage's tight manufacturing tolerances, you get a rifle that rewards good technique and consistent ammunition. The synthetic stock in matte black won't show wear in the field, and the matte-finish carbon steel barrel sheds weather without the glare of polished steel.
At 6 pounds and 40.5 inches overall, the B.MAG Heavy Barrel strikes a practical balance—light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to manage recoil and provide a steady shooting platform. The 22-inch barrel length and 1:8 rate of twist are optimized for 17 WSM ballistics, giving you the velocity and stability this cartridge was designed for. This is a no-nonsense rimfire for shooters who understand the difference a heavy barrel makes.

The 17 Winchester Super Magnum is a high-velocity rimfire cartridge designed for precision shooting at small game and varmints out to moderate ranges. It delivers more energy and flatter trajectory than traditional rimfires while maintaining the mild recoil and low cost of rimfire ammunition.
A heavy barrel resists vibration during the firing cycle, which reduces muzzle whip and improves shot-to-shot consistency. This results in tighter groups, especially at distance, and makes the rifle more forgiving of shooting technique.
Yes. The 17 WSM's flat trajectory and energy make it suitable for small game hunting, and the accurate heavy barrel helps ensure clean, ethical kills within appropriate range.
