Overview

The Rossi RB17 17 HMR bolt-action rifle with black synthetic stock (cosmetic blemishes) delivers reliable varmint and small-game performance at a value-driven price point. Chambered in the high-velocity .17 HMR cartridge, this bolt-action platform offers flat trajectories and tight groupings for target shooting or pest control.
