The demand for a compact, accurate rimfire precision rifle that doubles as a training and small-game platform remains strong. For shooters who want a capable, field-ready bolt action with optics and a refined trigger, this package delivers tangible value for range day and light-duty varmint work.

SAVAGE ARMS 93R17 is a ready-to-shoot 17 HMR bolt action that pairs a 21″ heavy stainless barrel with an Alpen Apex 6-24×50 scope and laminated thumbhole stock. The detachable 5-round magazine, Accu-Trigger, and manual safety behind the bolt handle are built for controllable, repeatable shots.

Why this rifle stands out

The combination of a 21″ heavy barrel and the Accu-Trigger is what allows the SAVAGE ARMS 93R17 to reach sub-MOA potential at 100 yards when matched with quality ammunition and a steady shooter. The stainless barrel and bright, minty bore reported in the consignment description indicate a rifle that has been well cared for and is ready to deliver tight groups.

Optics and value

The included Alpen Apex 6-24×50 scope with sunshade is a major value add — clear glass, sharp reticle, and functioning magnification make this rifle usable straight from the safe. Alpen optics are well regarded in the rimfire precision community, and having this scope mounted saves both time and budget on a separate purchase. View product details and pricing

Chassis, ergonomics, and handling

The laminated hardwood thumbhole stock balances aesthetics with rigid bedding for consistent tracking. Sling swivels in the forearm (one usable for a bipod) and a rubber recoil pad give practical mounting and comfort options for extended sessions. The bolt action is described as smooth with a light, crisp trigger feel — critical for precise rimfire shooting.

Caliber applications: 17 HMR

17 HMR is an excellent choice for small varmint control, target work, and introducing precision fundamentals. Its flat trajectory and low recoil make follow-up shots faster and help new precision shooters learn trigger control and shot cadence.
