Ruger has announced the introduction of its new American Rimfire Stainless. Since the launch of the company's American Rimfire line, customers have clamored for a stainless steel version. Ruger is delivering the goods in 2017. The stainless configuration will be available in three calibers: .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR.

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.

Last year CCI released its .17 HMR load with the Speer VNT bullet; the polymer tip helps to retain velocity at further ranges, and the thin, frangible jacket gives near-explosive performance on game. For 2019, CCI has expanded the line with two new offerings: the .17 Mach 2 and the .22 WMR.

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.

Savage Arms has announced its new B Series Hardwood models, an extension of the B Series rimfire rifle line that the company introduced earlier this year.

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.

Shooters are drawn to rimfire cartridges primarily due to the per-shot costs being significantly less than those of comparable center-rifle rifle cartridges. However, their downfall is lackluster terminal ballistics—that is, until now. Winchester’s new economical .17 Winchester Super Magnum (WSM) cartridge defies convention, and in doing so handily becomes the highest-performance rimfire extant.

CCI unveils its new 125-round Maxi-Mag and VNT Pour Packs, designed for easy access for high-volume shooting in the field or at the range.

Savage Arms announces the introduction of its Minimalist Rimfire rifle line, billing as a different take on the classic rimfire design.
