The Savage A17 Target 17 WSM is the ideal choice for dedicated varmint hunters, prairie dog shooters, and rimfire precision enthusiasts who demand more power and range than a standard .17 HMR can offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 17 WSM compare to the 17 HMR for hunting?
The 17 WSM (Winchester Super Magnum) offers significantly more velocity and energy than the 17 HMR, pushing a 20-grain bullet to approximately 3,000 fps compared to the HMR's 2,550 fps. This translates to a flatter trajectory, greater effective range, and more terminal energy on varmints — making the A17 Target an excellent step up for hunters who have outgrown the HMR's limitations at longer distances.
Is the barrel on the Savage A17 Target compatible with standard suppressors?
Yes — the 22" heavy barrel features a threaded muzzle, allowing you to attach a compatible suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider. Be sure to verify the thread pitch specification (typically 1/2×28 for rimfire rifles) and confirm that your suppressor matches before purchasing. Always ensure suppressor ownership complies with applicable federal and local regulations.
What type of ammunition does the Savage A17 require?
The Savage A17 Target is specifically chambered for 17 WSM ammunition. It is not compatible with 17 HMR or other rimfire cartridges. Savage designed the A17 platform to function reliably with 17 WSM loads, and the rotary magazine is purpose-built for this cartridge's dimensions. Winchester and a small number of other manufacturers currently produce 17 WSM ammunition in various bullet weights.
