The Savage Arms MARK II FV in 17 HM2 is a purpose-built rimfire varmint rifle that delivers the precision and reliability serious shooters expect from a dedicated small-game and pest-control platform. Built on Savage's time-tested bolt-action design, this rifle pairs a lightweight 21-inch barrel with a 1:9 twist rate optimized for the 17 HM2 cartridge—a flat-shooting, low-recoil round that's carved out a loyal following among varmint hunters and target shooters who value accuracy without the blast and kick of centerfire alternatives. At 5.5 pounds, it's nimble enough for a day in the field yet solid enough to deliver consistent, repeatable shots.
The MARK II FV comes dressed in practical black synthetics that stand up to hard use and the elements. Its matte black finish won't catch the sun or spook game, and the stock design provides a steady platform for accurate shooting. The 5-round capacity is typical for precision rimfire work—you're not mag-dumping at varmints; you're making each shot count. This is the kind of rifle that rewards good fieldcraft and trigger control, whether you're working a prairie dog colony, managing ground squirrels, or just punching paper at the range.
If you're shopping a varmint rifle in a lighter caliber that doesn't require centerfire licensing in some regions, offers minimal recoil for younger or recoil-sensitive shooters, or simply want a tack-driving 17 HM2 bolt gun, the MARK II FV deserves a close look. Savage has built its reputation on delivering honest accuracy and dependability without the premium price tag.
