Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 17 WSM compare to other rimfire cartridges like the 17 HMR?
The 17 Winchester Super Magnum is significantly more powerful than the 17 HMR, pushing a 20-grain bullet to approximately 3,000 fps compared to around 2,375 fps for the 17 HMR. This translates to a flatter trajectory, more retained energy at distance, and dramatically improved wind resistance — making the B.MAG an excellent choice for varmint shooting beyond 200 yards.
Can the AccuTrigger™ be adjusted without a gunsmith?
Yes — the Savage AccuTrigger™ is designed for user adjustment within a safe pull-weight range using the included tool. Shooters can fine-tune the trigger to their preferred feel without requiring professional gunsmithing, making it one of the most practical features on the B.MAG for competitive or precision-focused shooters.
What kind of ammunition does the Savage B.MAG 17 WSM use, and is it widely available?
The B.MAG is chambered exclusively for the 17 Winchester Super Magnum (17 WSM) cartridge, which is a proprietary rimfire round introduced by Winchester. While not as universally stocked as 22 LR or 17 HMR, 17 WSM ammunition is available from major manufacturers including Winchester and Hornady, and can be ordered online or found at larger sporting goods retailers. Stocking up when available is recommended.
