Who This Is For
The Savage B.MAG is built for the serious varmint hunter, precision rimfire competitor, or long-range plinker who demands more from a rimfire platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 17 WSM compare to the 17 HMR for long-range shooting?
The 17 Win. Super Magnum is significantly more powerful than the 17 HMR, pushing a 20-grain bullet to roughly 3,000 fps compared to around 2,375 fps for the HMR. This translates to a flatter trajectory, more retained energy at distance, and better resistance to wind drift — making the B.MAG in 17 WSM a superior choice for varmint hunting and precision shooting beyond 150 yards.
What is the AccuTrigger and how do I adjust it?
Savage's AccuTrigger is a patented user-adjustable trigger system that allows shooters to set pull weight within a safe range without requiring professional gunsmithing. The B.MAG's AccuTrigger can typically be adjusted using the included adjustment tool, letting you dial in a lighter, crisper pull for improved precision while maintaining a built-in safety mechanism that prevents accidental discharge.
Can I mount a scope on the Savage B.MAG, and what base does it use?
Yes, the Savage B.MAG is designed to accept standard scope mounts. The compact action features a Picatinny-style or Weaver-compatible rail, and most major optics manufacturers offer compatible rings and mounts. Given the long-range capabilities of the 17 WSM cartridge, pairing this rifle with a quality variable-power scope in the 3–9x or 4–12x range is highly recommended to take full advantage of its inherent accuracy.
