Description
The Savage 93 XP .17 HMR Brush Camo with 3-9×40 Scope is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for varmint hunters who demand flat trajectory and pinpoint accuracy at moderate ranges. Chambered in .17 HMR, this factory-scoped package delivers consistent sub-MOA performance right out of the box—no guesswork, no extra gunsmithing. The coyote-tan metal finish and brush camo synthetic stock blend into field edges and cutovers, making it a natural choice for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and fox.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, letting you fine-tune for cold mornings or steady bench work.
- Factory-Mounted 3-9×40mm Scope — WHY IT MATTERS: The scope comes boresighted from the factory, so you’re on paper within a few rounds and can focus on hunting, not mounting hardware.
- Brush Camo Synthetic Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The pattern breaks up your silhouette against brush and timber, and the synthetic material won’t warp in wet weather.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: If you want to swap optics or add a red dot later, the receiver is ready for standard rimfire bases.
- Swivel Studs — WHY IT MATTERS: Quick attachment for a sling or bipod means you can carry all day or shoot prone without extra rigging.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends more time behind a bipod than a bench. If you chase prairie dogs across CRP ground, call coyotes in cut corn, or work squirrel woods with a .17 HMR, the Savage 93 XP gives you the reach and precision to make those 100- to 150-yard shots count. It’s also a solid choice for new shooters stepping up from .22 LR who want flatter trajectory without jumping to a centerfire.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: The AccuTrigger is genuinely adjustable—you can feel the difference between 3 and 4 pounds, and it breaks clean with no creep.
- Pro: The factory scope is clear enough for 100-yard shots on a squirrel’s head, and the rings are torqued from the factory.
- Con: The synthetic stock feels utilitarian—it’s functional but lacks the palm swell or grip texture of higher-end aftermarket stocks.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the .17 HMR in the Savage 93 XP?
With a 21-inch barrel and the factory 3-9×40 scope, you can reliably hit varmint-sized targets (prairie dogs, ground squirrels) out to 150 yards. Past that, wind drift becomes a factor, but for most hunting scenarios, 100–125 yards is the sweet spot.
Does the Savage 93 XP come with a scope already mounted?
Yes. The 3-9×40mm scope is factory-mounted and boresighted. You’ll still need to zero it at your preferred distance (typically 100 yards for .17 HMR), but you won’t need to buy rings or a mount.
Can I change the stock on the Savage 93 XP?
Yes. The barreled action fits standard Savage 93 stocks, including aftermarket options from Boyd’s or MDT. The swivel studs are already installed on the factory stock if you choose to keep it.
Is the AccuTrigger safe for field use?
Absolutely. The AccuTrigger has a built-in safety blade that prevents the sear from releasing unless the trigger is intentionally pressed. Even at the lightest setting (2.5 lbs), it won’t fire if dropped or bumped.
What ammunition does the Savage 93 XP prefer?
Most .17 HMR ammo from CCI, Hornady, or Federal shoots well. Hornady V-Max 17-grain gives the flattest trajectory, while CCI 20-grain Game Point works for slightly larger varmints like fox or raccoon at closer ranges.
