Savage Arms 93R17 Minimalist .17 HMR Bolt-Action Rifle - Natural Green Finish

The Savage Arms 93R17 Minimalist in .17 HMR is a lightweight bolt-action rimfire rifle built for shooters who want modern ergonomics without unnecessary bulk. Chambered in the speedy .17 HMR cartridge, this rifle pairs a classic laminate stock with contemporary handling — think stripped-down efficiency in a format that actually feels good in your hands. At just 5.48 pounds with an 18-inch carbon steel barrel, it's nimble enough for small-game hunting, varmint work, or simply enjoying a day at the range without the fatigue of heavier platforms.

The Minimalist's design philosophy is honest: give you what matters for accuracy and control, skip the fluff. The 2.5–6 pound user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial in the break you prefer, while the button-rifled barrel (1-in-9 twist) delivers the inherent precision that's made Savage a reliable name in rimfire shooting. The natural green laminated thumbhole stock absorbs recoil and provides a secure grip in all weather, and the 10-round detachable magazine keeps you loaded without fumbling around with single rounds.

Practical touches round out the package: the barrel is threaded (1/2–28) and comes capped, so adding a suppressor or brake is straightforward if you choose. Two-piece Weaver bases are already mounted, ready for your optics. The matte black finishes on barrel and receiver won't catch sunlight, and the 37-inch overall length keeps the rifle compact for transport and use in tight brush. Whether you're zeroing in a new shooting setup, controlling varmints, or introducing someone to reliable rimfire performance, the 93R17 Minimalist delivers proven Savage quality without overcomplicating the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of scope or optic should I mount on this rifle?

The 93R17 Minimalist comes with two-piece Weaver bases already mounted on the receiver, so you can attach any optic with standard Weaver rings — scopes, red dots, and magnified systems all work. For .17 HMR varmint and small-game work, many shooters choose 4x–12x magnification or variable power scopes to match the rifle's accuracy potential and intended use.

Can I add a suppressor to this rifle?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2–28 and comes with a cap, so you can install a compatible suppressor or muzzle device if desired.

What's included in the box?

The rifle ships with the 10-round detachable magazine, barrel cap, and two-piece Weaver bases (pre-mounted on the receiver). Optics, ammunition, and additional magazines are not included.

Is this rifle suitable for a young or smaller shooter?

The 93R17 Minimalist has a length of pull of 13.75 inches, which works well for many younger or smaller-framed shooters. The lightweight design (5.48 pounds) and manageable .17 HMR recoil make it an approachable platform for learning or introduction to rimfire shooting.
