Savage B.Mag .17 WSM 22 in Bolt-Action Rifle, Synthetic RH

The Savage B.Mag .17 WSM 22 in Bolt-Action Rifle, Synthetic RH delivers rimfire velocities that rival centerfire ballistics, purpose-built for shooters who demand flat trajectories beyond 200 yards. Chambered in the .17 Winchester Super Magnum, this savage b.mag .17 wsm 22 in bolt-action rifle, synthetic rh uses a cock-on-close bolt, rear-locking lugs, and a thread-in barrel system to achieve headspace consistency typically reserved for precision centerfires. The factory-installed AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, adjustable break down to 2.5 pounds, while the drilled-and-tapped receiver accepts your preferred optic without gunsmithing. At $410.32, it bridges the gap between entry-level rimfires and high-end custom builds.

Key Features

• Thread-in barrel system: Why it matters — eliminates barrel-to-receiver slop and maintains consistent headspace, giving you repeatable accuracy shot after shot without the need for a barrel nut or smith fitting.
• Cock-on-close bolt design: Why it matters — reduces bolt lift force and speeds up cycling for follow-up shots, while the rear-locking lugs keep the action compact and rigid for better lockup.
• AccuTrigger with adjustable pull weight: Why it matters — lets you dial the sear engagement from a crisp 2.5 lb to a heavier 6 lb, eliminating creep and overtravel for clean breaks at the firing line.
• Drilled-and-tapped receiver: Why it matters — mounts any standard rimfire scope base directly, no drilling or tapping required, so you can glass-bed your optic in minutes.
• .17 WSM chambering: Why it matters — launches a 20-grain projectile at 3,000+ fps, producing a drop of only 3 inches at 200 yards (100-yard zero), making it viable for varmints and steel out to 300 yards.

Who It’s For

This rifle targets long-range rimfire shooters who want centerfire-like trajectory without the cost or recoil. It suits varmint hunters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes at extended ranges. It also fits precision rifle owners who need a trainer with similar ergonomics to their centerfire rigs. The synthetic stock and fixed design make it a practical field companion for rough terrain.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: The .17 WSM delivers a flatter trajectory than .22 WMR or .17 HMR, with 200-yard drops comparable to a .223 Remington.
• Pro: AccuTrigger offers a clean, user-adjustable break without aftermarket parts.
• Con: Ammunition availability for .17 WSM is more limited than .22 LR or .17 HMR, and factory loads cost roughly 40–50 cents per round (per current market averages).

FAQ

What optics mount does the Savage B.Mag require?

The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard rimfire scope bases (typically 8-40 screw pattern). Most shooters use a one-piece base or two-piece rings with 1-inch or 30mm tubes. Check your base manufacturer for compatibility with the B.Mag’s hole spacing.

Can I use .17 HMR ammunition in a .17 WSM rifle?

No. The .17 WSM case is longer and operates at higher pressure than .17 HMR. Chambering a .17 HMR round in a .17 WSM rifle can cause dangerous pressure spikes. Only use factory .17 Winchester Super Magnum ammunition.

Is the AccuTrigger adjustable without tools?

Yes. The AccuTrigger includes a pull-weight adjustment screw accessed through the trigger guard. Turn it clockwise for lighter pull (down to ~2.5 lb) or counterclockwise for heavier. No special tools are needed.

What is the effective range of the Savage B.Mag?

With a 100-yard zero, the .17 WSM drops about 3 inches at 200 yards and 12 inches at 300 yards. Practical accuracy for varmints extends to 250 yards; for steel targets, 300 yards is achievable with good wind reading.
