Savage Arms Model 93R17 GV – .17 HMR Bolt-Action Rimfire, Heavy Barrel, AccuTrigger
The Model 93R17 GV pairs Savage’s Canadian-made Lakefield action with a 21" bull barrel and the renowned user-adjustable AccuTrigger, all wrapped in a satin-finished hardwood stock. Chambered in the flat-shooting .17 HMR, this rifle offers centerfire-like precision with rimfire thrift—making it a favorite among varmint hunters and paper-punchers alike. Factory Weaver bases, dual steel magazines, and a crisp trigger mean it is ready for glass and range time the moment it arrives.
Condition
Good overall, reflecting honest field use but no abuse. Matte-blued metal shows a handful of light handling scratches and a few spots of superficial pitting on the exterior of the barrel—nothing that affects function. The bore is clean and shiny with well-defined lands and grooves; rifling remains sharp. Hardwood stock retains its brown satin finish with only minor dings and rubs at high-contact points. Mechanicals cycle smoothly, AccuTrigger breaks cleanly, and the action locks up solid.
What’s Included
• Model 93R17 GV rifle
• (1) 5-round blued steel magazine (installed)
• (1) 5-round spare magazine, new in factory Savage packaging (p/n 90009)
• Factory-installed Weaver two-piece scope bases
The GV variant stands out for combining a heavy, button-rifled carbon-steel barrel with Savage’s AccuTrigger—still one of the safest, most shooter-friendly adjustable triggers available. Turn the pull weight down to roughly 2.5 lb, or leave it nearer the 5-lb factory setting for gloved winter shooting. The Lakefield-pattern bolt glides on dual extractors that have earned a reputation for dependable rimfire feeding in dusty prairie dog towns and icy tree-stand seasons alike.
At 21", the bull barrel delivers excellent harmonic stability and heat absorption, helping many 93R17 shooters post sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition. The 1-in-9" right-hand twist is optimized for the 17-grain V-MAX and 20-grain GamePoint loads that keep .17 HMR zipping along at approximately 2,600 fps. Sling-swivel studs fore and aft make it simple to add a bipod or field carry strap, and the Monte Carlo comb aligns naturally behind low-mounted optics.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly precision rimfire that punches well above its price class, this Canadian-built 93R17 GV deserves a spot in your safe. When you’re ready, secure it and have the magazines loaded for your next range day or varmint hunt.
