Key Features
- AccuTrigger Technology — WHY IT MATTERS: You can adjust the trigger pull weight from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools, giving you a crisp, consistent break that helps shrink groups at the range or in the field.
- 22" Stainless Heavy Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The heavy contour resists heat buildup during strings of fire, and the stainless construction resists rust and corrosion, so the barrel holds zero and stays accurate season after season.
- Center-Feed Detachable Rotary Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: It feeds the .17 WSM rounds smoothly and reliably, and the rotary design prevents rim-lock issues common with stacked magazines.
- Fixed Black Synthetic Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The stock is lightweight, weatherproof, and has a textured grip surface, so it stays comfortable in wet or cold conditions without swelling or cracking.
- Drilled and Tapped for Scope Mounts — WHY IT MATTERS: Bases are included, so you can mount your favorite optic right away without gunsmithing — just add rings and a scope, and you're ready to shoot.
Who It's For
The Savage B.Mag is a great pick for varmint hunters, target shooters, and anyone who wants a lightweight rifle that shoots flat out to 300 yards. It's also a solid choice for new shooters looking for a low-recoil, high-velocity platform to build marksmanship skills on. The .17 WSM cartridge delivers less recoil than a .22 Magnum but with a flatter trajectory, making it a favorite for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and paper punching.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market — fully adjustable and creep-free.
- Pro: The heavy stainless barrel helps maintain accuracy even after several shots.
- Pro: The rotary magazine feeds the .17 WSM reliably, reducing jams.
- Con: The synthetic stock is functional but feels a bit basic compared to aftermarket options — some shooters swap it out for a laminate or chassis stock down the line.

Compared to the Ruger 77/17, the Savage B.Mag offers a heavier barrel and a lower price point, but the Ruger has a more refined stock and a smoother action. The Marlin 917V is cheaper but uses the .17 HMR cartridge, which has less energy and a shorter effective range than the .17 WSM. For shooters who want the flattest trajectory and highest velocity in a rimfire, the Savage B.Mag is the clear winner.
FAQ
Does the Savage B.Mag come with scope rings or just bases?
It includes scope bases only. You'll need to buy rings separately to mount your scope. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard bases, so any 1-inch or 30mm rings will work.
What is the effective range of the .17 WSM from this rifle?
With the 22" heavy barrel, the .17 WSM stays supersonic out to about 300 yards. Most shooters find it accurate for varmints and targets out to 250-300 yards, depending on wind conditions.
Can I adjust the AccuTrigger on this model?
Yes. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable without tools. You can set the pull weight from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds by turning a small screw inside the trigger housing.
Is the .17 WSM ammo hard to find?
It's not as common as .22 LR or .22 Magnum, but it's widely available online and in most gun shops. Brands like Winchester and Hornady make it. The ammo is more expensive than .22 Magnum, but the flat trajectory and accuracy make it worth it for serious shooters.
What kind of groups does the Savage B.Mag shoot?
Per Savage Arms specs, the B.Mag is designed to shoot sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with quality ammunition. Many owners report 0.5-0.75 inch groups at 100 yards with factory .17 WSM ammo.
