Features & Specs
Every detail on this rifle serves a purpose. Rossi kept the design clean and functional, with no unnecessary frills. Here is what you get when you order the Rossi RB17 17 HMR bolt-action rimfire rifle with 21 inch barrel:
- 21-inch blued steel barrel with a 1:9 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing lightweight .17 HMR projectiles
- Checkered synthetic stock with a raised comb for a consistent cheek weld and secure grip in wet or cold conditions
- Adjustable rear sight and bead front sight, plus an 11mm dovetail receiver ready for a scope mount
- Two-position safety and a removable magazine for quick, safe unloading
- Overall length of 40 inches and a weight of roughly 5.5 pounds, making it easy to carry on long walks
The bolt cycles smoothly out of the box, and the trigger breaks clean around 4 to 5 pounds. Rossi uses a push-feed action that feeds the rimfire rounds reliably from the five-round detachable magazine. The Rossi RB17 17 HMR bolt-action rimfire rifle with 21 inch barrel is built to take the abuse of regular field use while keeping you on target.
Who It’s For
This rifle suits a wide range of shooters, but it really shines for a few specific groups. First, it is a fantastic entry-level bolt-action for someone stepping up from a .22 LR. The .17 HMR offers noticeably less drop at longer ranges, so you can reach out to 150 yards with confidence. Second, varmint hunters will appreciate the flat shooting and wind resistance of the cartridge, especially when paired with this barrel length. Third, budget-conscious shooters who still want a quality rimfire platform will find the Rossi RB17 17 HMR bolt-action rimfire rifle with 21 inch barrel holds its own against rifles costing significantly more. If you are looking for a dependable, lightweight rifle for plinking, target shooting, or small game hunting, this Rossi delivers. Experienced shooters will also enjoy it as a low-recoil option for teaching new shooters the fundamentals of bolt-action accuracy.
