The .17 Super Magnum is the “new kid on the block” in terms of ammunition cartridges. Not your typical .17 caliber, this cartridge fires a 20 grain bullet at 3,000 FPS; making it the fastest, flattest shooting rimfire in the world. The cutting-edge Savage B.Mag was designed to deliver that blistering speed with all the accuracy of a Savage.
The Savage B.Mag features a completely new compact rimfire action with rear locking lugs as well as a cock-on-close bolt, while keeping the same thread-in barrel headspacing system as the rest of their centerfire rifles. A neat attribute of this firearm is the center-feed rotary magazine it utilizes, capable of holding up to eight rounds. Additionally, The B.Mag sports Savage’s praised Accutrigger, which is infamous for being light, crisp and easily adjusted without the use of any special tools. So if you are in the market for a lightening fast tack-driver that one can shoot all day on the cheap, look no further than the new Savage B.Mag 17 WSM.
I have to say I was skeptical of buying this rifle after reading the other reviews on here. But I took the chance... and boy, I couldnt be happier. This baby runs smooth and accurate. Savage doesnt get the same recognition as the higher-end names like Browning when it comes to bolt rifles, but Im perfectly fine with spending 1/4 the price for a gun that hasnt caused me a single issue and im sure those higher-end companies probably charge a premium just for their name alone.
I'm sure the people who left bad reviews on this gun weren't lying. But I'm thinking Savage must've fixed whatever problems were happening in the past, because this gun's been great to me.
Super pleased!
The gun has performed as expected once zeroed. I will have to see if that holds true once the weather heats up as the stock on the left side of the barrel appears to be extremely tight. The cost and availability look to be an issue going forward.
The service from sportmansoutdoorsuperstore.com was excellent, the purchase was smooth and saved some $$ to use for that ammo or materials for a new stock!
