The Savage Arms B.MAG 90020 delivers exceptional precision in the versatile 17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge. This bolt-action rimfire rifle combines Savage's renowned accuracy with the flat-shooting performance of the 17 WSM round, making it an ideal choice for varmint hunting and long-range target shooting.
What Makes This Different
The B.MAG series stands apart from traditional rimfire rifles through its centerfire-style bolt design and rotary magazine system. Unlike standard rimfire platforms that rely on simple blowback actions, the B.MAG utilizes a robust bolt-action mechanism specifically engineered for the higher pressures of the 17 WSM cartridge. This design delivers consistent lockup and enhanced accuracy potential compared to semi-automatic rimfire alternatives.
Key Features
- 17 Winchester Super Magnum chambering for flat trajectory and extended range
- 8-round rotary magazine provides reliable feeding and quick reloads
- AccuTrigger system allows user-adjustable pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds
- Black synthetic stock resists weather and provides consistent cheek weld
- Button-rifled carbon steel barrel with matte black finish
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts
- Two-position safety located behind the trigger guard
The 17 WSM cartridge pushes 20-grain bullets at velocities exceeding 3,000 fps, delivering energy levels significantly higher than traditional rimfire rounds. This performance translates to effective range extension for prairie dog hunting and consistent accuracy for competitive shooting applications. The synthetic stock maintains dimensional stability across temperature variations, while the free-floated barrel design minimizes contact points that could affect accuracy.
