Description
The Magnum Research SBA17HMR is a straight-pull bolt rifle designed for accurate varmint control. If you’re dealing with pests around the farm or putting up hogs, this rifle will handle it. It comes with a 19-inch threaded carbon fiber barrel and a black Hogue OverMolded stock. The carbon fiber helps keep the weight down – it’s around 5.5 pounds – for carrying through the woods or setting up on a stand. The 1/2×28 threads on the barrel are standard for attaching suppressors or muzzle brakes without needing any extra adapters.

What This Rifle’s Good For
Folks around here use .17 HMR for controlling pests on their property and for some accurate small game hunting. This rifle works well for both. The straight-pull bolt action makes follow-up shots quicker, which is helpful when you’ve got multiple targets. The Hogue stock provides a good, firm grip, even when it’s muddy or wet – important when you’re out in Alabama weather. The adjustable trigger lets you fine-tune the pull to suit your shooting style and help put rounds where you want ’em.
You’ll find this rifle useful for long-range pest control, target shooting at the range, or even as a lighter-weight option for small game. It’s a good choice if you’re already running a suppressor and want to keep the weight down. It’s also a solid rimfire trainer without the bulk of a heavier rifle.
Things to Consider
- The straight-pull bolt can be a little stiff at first; it will smooth out after you’ve run about 100 rounds through it.
- The 5-round magazine means you’ll be reloading more often than with some other rifles, but it keeps things simple.
