Frequently Asked Questions
Savage .17 Hornet rifles for sale
Is the 17 Hornet any good?
The .17 Hornady Hornet works well for varmint and predator hunting out to around 250 yards. It delivers more energy than the .17 HMR while keeping bullets fragmenting reliably on impact. CZ and Savage offer bolt-action rifles in this caliber, making it a practical option for close-range varmint work.
What is the effective range of a 17 Hornet?
Effective range estimates vary: some practical assessments place it at 130–165 yards for real-world varmint work, while others consider it capable out to 250 metres for most situations. Notably, the cartridge stays supersonic to 500 yards. It performs well on rabbits and foxes, but wind drift remains a factor.
Is a 17 Hornet good for coyotes?
Yes, but with caveats. The .17 Hornet kills coyotes effectively at typical calling ranges under 150 yards with proper shot placement, especially with heavier 25-grain loads. Calibers like .204 or .223 offer more margin for error. It suits fur-conscious hunters wanting minimal hide damage.
