Savage Revel Classic 17Hmr 18
The Savage Revel Classic is a modern lever-action rimfire rifle built for hunters, plinking enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates honest mechanical simplicity in a .17 HMR platform. With an 18-inch barrel and traditional lever action, this rifle delivers the smooth, reliable cycling that's made lever guns legendary—but in a compact package that's equally at home in a backpack or leaning against the truck bed. The .17 HMR cartridge is a proven small-game and varmint round, and the Revel's straightforward design means you can focus on marksmanship rather than fiddling with modern complexity.
The walnut stock is contoured for real shooting comfort and features fine checkering that gives you reliable purchase in the field, whether you're wearing gloves or not. Sling studs are fitted front and back—mount your favorite carry solution and you've got a genuinely portable rifle. The oversized lever loop is easy to operate with a variety of grip angles, and the smooth action cycles reliably with minimal effort. A crossbolt safety sits where your thumb naturally lands, and the adjustable iron sights let you dial in your zero without a gunsmith visit. The receiver is drilled and tapped if you decide to add an optic down the road.
What sets the Revel apart is its quick-takedown design—you can field-strip the action from the stock without tools, making cleaning, transport, and storage straightforward. The medium-profile carbon steel barrel wears a satin finish that complements the walnut and resists quick corrosion. This is a rifle that works as well on a squirrel hunt as it does at the 100-yard target range, and it won't break the bank or your back in the field.
