The Model 717M2 uses a blowback-operated, semi-automatic action tailored to the .17 HM2 cartridge. Its short production run from roughly 2005 to 2007 makes it a noteworthy piece among modern rimfires, and it remains one of the few factory semi-automatic rifles chambered for this round.
The 18-inch steel sporter-contour barrel and blued metalwork are matched to open sights, with a ramped front post and a folding, elevator-adjustable rear leaf. The receiver top features integral 3/8-inch tip-off scope grooves for straightforward mounting of compatible rimfire optics bases.
Controls are simple and familiar, including a right-side bolt handle, cross-bolt safety, and right-side ejection. It incorporates both an automatic last-shot hold-open and a manual bolt hold-open. The detachable steel box magazine provides a 5+1 capacity.
The Monte Carlo hardwood stock has a walnut-finished Mar-Shield coating, a full pistol grip, and a sling swivel stud. A checkered metal buttplate with "Marlin" script completes the classic look. Length of pull is 13.5 inches, with an overall length of approximately 37 inches.
Fit and finish are consistent throughout, with a blued receiver and barrel that complement the stock's profile and handling. The configuration and chambering make this rifle a standout option for those seeking a factory semi-automatic in .17 HM2.
