The Savage Arms A17 Semi-Auto rifle in .17 HMR features a unique delayed-blowback recoil operation that will handle the higher pressures associated with the .17 HMR. The system features an interrupter lug that has been integrated into the bolt assembly. This lug locks the bolt down when firing, providing as much accuracy and control as a traditional bolt-action rifle. The Savage Arms A17 rifle has a 22 inch long button-rifled barrel and is constructed using carbon steel with a hard chrome bolt for easy cleanup. The Famous AccuTrigger has a crisp, creep-free trigger pull while being user-adjustable without the user having to disassemble the rifle. The synthetic stock is lightweight and nicely textured in a rib pattern, allowing a positive grip even in a wet environment. The Savage Arms A17 Semi-Auto rifle in .17 HMR weighs in at 5.41 pounds and is fed by a 10-round detachable flush-fitting rotary magazine.
