Features & Specs

The Rossi RB17 is built around a user-focused design that prioritizes function and repeatability. The bolt-action mechanism provides positive extraction and feeding, while the 21-inch barrel contributes to the rifle’s balanced handling. Below are the core specifications and design highlights.

• Caliber: 17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire), delivering velocities exceeding 2,500 fps for flat trajectories and minimal wind drift at typical rimfire ranges.
• Barrel: 21-inch blued steel barrel with a 1:9 twist rate, designed to stabilize lightweight 17-grain projectiles for consistent accuracy.
• Stock: Black synthetic stock with a textured grip and forend, offering weather resistance and a secure hold in wet or cold conditions. Includes sling swivel studs for bipod or sling attachment.

The rifle also incorporates a 10-round detachable magazine, allowing for quick reloads without disrupting your shooting position. The adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight provide a clear sight picture, though the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting with optional rings. Trigger pull is set from the factory at approximately 4.5 pounds, providing a crisp break suitable for precision shooting.
