There's no denying that the Savage A17 has been popular since its release last year. So it's no surprise that we're starting to see after-market accessories for the little .17 HMR semi-auto. First among them is the new 25-round magazine from Butler Creek.
The 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits have come and gone. Official estimates say more than 80,000 NRA members packed the Kentucky Exposition Center over the weekend, and we can't thank y'all enough. Here's a quick roundup of some of the coverage the AmericanHunter.org team produced during the show.
Lost in the brilliance of the award-winning Savage Arms A17 was the new ammunition developed alongside it by CCI. Now the A17—and its namesake ammunition—have cousins of a sort in the Savage Arms A22 and CCI's A22 Mag.
Savage Arms has announced the launch of its new A17 XP Scope package gun. The new A17 XP model features a Bushnell A17 scope that comes mounted and boresighted.
The A22 Magnum rifle is not fussy, and it dispels any myths that the .22 Mag. is not accurate. It also proves, once again, Savage knows how to build a reliable semi-auto magnum rimfire.
Savage Arms is offering hunters and shooters the chance to save a little cash this season, courtesy its new "Save on a Savage" promotion. The rebate program offers customers the chance to choose from dozens of firearms and receive cash back.
The Savage Arms A17 was a bit of a hit in 2015, and for good reason. It featured a unique, delayed-blowback action that allowed the typically "too hot" .17 HMR cartridge to cycle reliably in a semi-automatic rifle. In the wake of the A17's success, Savage announced the A22 Mag. Now, for 2017, the company is appealing to diehard fans of .22 rimfire with the announcement of the A22 LR.
