Description
The Savage Mark II FV .17 HM2 21″ Heavy Barrel, Black Synthetic is a rimfire bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand consistent accuracy from a compact, no-nonsense platform.

Key Features
- Heavy Button-Rifled Barrel (21″) — The barrel profile resists heat-induced shift during strings of fire, which matters when you’re stacking shots on prairie dogs or ground squirrels at 100+ yards.
- AccuTrigger — Adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds, this trigger lets you dial in a crisp break without a gunsmith. It reduces the risk of pulling a shot when the pressure is on.
- Matte Black Synthetic Stock — Lightweight and weather-resistant, the stock provides a secure grip in wet or cold conditions. The black finish reduces glare in the field.
- Weaver-Style Bases Included — Two-piece bases are pre-installed, saving you time and money. You can mount a scope right out of the box.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver — Accepts standard rimfire scope mounts, giving you flexibility to use your preferred rings and bases.
Who It’s For
This rifle fits the concealed carrier who also hunts small game, the homesteader who needs a quiet varmint solution, and the precision rimfire shooter who wants a dedicated .17 HM2 platform. It’s not a plinker—it’s a tool for putting meat in the freezer or eliminating pests with surgical accuracy.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers in the rimfire world, adjustable down to 2.5 lbs for fine control.
- Pro: The heavy barrel improves accuracy and reduces felt recoil, making it easier to stay on target for follow-up shots.
- Con: The synthetic stock has a slightly hollow feel and limited cheek riser adjustment, which may affect cheek weld for taller shooters.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the .17 HM2 out of this rifle?
With the 21″ heavy barrel, the .17 HM2 delivers consistent accuracy to 150 yards on varmint-sized targets. Beyond that, wind drift becomes significant.
Does the Savage Mark II FV come with scope rings?
No, it ships with Weaver-style bases installed but does not include rings. You’ll need to purchase rings separately.
Can I adjust the AccuTrigger without tools?
Yes, the AccuTrigger is user-adjustable using a small Allen wrench (included). Turn the screw to adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds.
Is this rifle easy to mount a red dot on?
Yes, because the receiver is drilled and tapped, you can use a Picatinny rail adapter or direct-mount rings for a red dot.
Why Choose the Savage Mark II FV
According to Savage Arms specs, the Mark II FV delivers sub-MOA accuracy at 50 yards with match-grade ammunition. That level of precision from a factory rifle at this price point is hard to beat. The .17 HM2 cartridge offers flatter trajectory and less wind drift than .22 LR, making it a smart choice for shooters who want to stretch rimfire range.
