Savage 93R17 FV .17 HMR Bolt-Action Rifle with Blued Barrel and Black Synthetic Stock - Model 96700
Savage Arms
The Savage 93R17 FSSNS is a purpose-built .17 HMR bolt-action rifle that punches well above its weight class for small-game hunting, varmint control, and precision target shooting. Chambered in the flat-shooting .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, this lightweight rifle delivers the accuracy and efficiency serious hunters and shooters expect from Savage's renowned action. Whether you're taking coyotes at distance, managing prairie dogs, or fine-tuning your marksmanship at the range, the 93R17 gives you a nimble, no-nonsense platform that gets the job done.
The stainless steel barrel resists corrosion in harsh field conditions and demands less maintenance than blued steel—a practical advantage for anyone who hunts wet country or leaves their rifle exposed to the elements. Paired with a black synthetic stock that won't swell, warp, or absorb moisture, this rifle is built to stay reliable in weather that would test traditional wood furniture. The 21-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity and portability, making the 93R17 FSSNS equally at home in a truck rack, a hiking pack, or locked in a safe until the season opens.
At just 5.5 pounds, the 93R17 won't wear you down on a long day afoot. The five-round capacity is standard for .17 HMR bolt rifles and suits the deliberate, accurate shooting this cartridge rewards. The 1:9 twist rifling is optimized for the bullet weights that deliver the best accuracy and energy in .17 HMR, so you can trust that Savage engineered this rifle specifically for the cartridge, not as an afterthought.

The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is a flat-shooting, relatively quiet cartridge ideal for small-game hunting (rabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs), varmint control (coyotes at moderate range), and precision target shooting.

Yes. Savage rifles typically ship ready to accept a scope mount, though we recommend verifying the specific mounting system with current product documentation or contacting Savage Arms directly for rail or receiver details on Model 96712.
Stainless steel barrels are significantly more corrosion-resistant than traditional blued steel, making them a solid choice if you hunt in wet conditions, humid climates, or coastal environments. They still benefit from basic cleaning and light oil protection, but they demand far less maintenance than carbon steel.
The 93R17 FSSNS combines a stainless barrel, synthetic stock, and lightweight 5.5-pound build—all aimed at durability and field use. The 1:9 twist and 21-inch barrel are factory-optimized for .17 HMR ammunition, so you're buying a rifle engineered specifically for this cartridge rather than a general platform adapted to it.
