Marlin Model 917V .17 HMR Bolt-Action Rifle, 22" Heavy Barrel, 2005 North Haven Production
The Marlin Model 917V is a purpose-built varmint rifle chambered in the flat-shooting .17 HMR cartridge. Produced in North Haven in 2005—before the Remington acquisition—this 900-series rifle pairs a 22" heavy contour carbon-steel barrel with Marlin’s T-900 single-stage trigger, giving shooters a stable platform capable of sub-MOA rimfire accuracy. Factory scope bases, a walnut-tone hardwood Monte Carlo stock, and three steel 7-round magazines round out a feature set that appeals to hunters and precision-minded rimfire enthusiasts alike.

The heavy 22" carbon-steel barrel minimizes heat buildup and maintains rigidity, a key factor in the 917V’s reputation for tight groups at extended rimfire distances. The 1:9" right-hand twist stabilizes 17-grain and heavier .17 HMR projectiles, maximizing accuracy from popular varmint loads.
Marlin’s T-900 single-stage trigger offers a clean break, complementing the rifle’s inherent precision potential. Paired with the smooth bolt-action and two-position safety, the 917V provides controlled cycling and confident handling in the field or at the bench.
The hardwood stock wears Marlin’s durable Mar-Shield walnut-tone finish. A Monte Carlo comb, crisp checkering, and factory sling swivel studs deliver comfort, grip, and carry convenience without added weight.
North Haven manufacture and pre-acquisition production appeal to collectors who value classic Marlin build quality. Combined with the included magazines and scope bases, this rifle is turn-key for anyone seeking a reliable, accurate .17 HMR platform.
