Why Shooters Choose the Tactical .17 HMR
Laser-Flat .17 HMR Ballistics: The fast, flat-shooting .17 HMR cartridge offers tight groups and minimal holdover at typical varmint and target distances.
18" Fluted & Threaded Barrel: Fluting enhances cooling and reduces weight, while the threaded muzzle (check pitch on your specific unit) supports brakes or suppressor devices where legal.
Optics-Ready Rail: A continuous Picatinny rail makes mounting scopes, LPVOs, or red dots straightforward—get your preferred eye relief and height without adapters.
B5 Bravo Ergonomics: The B5 Systems Bravo stock delivers a solid cheek weld, QD sling cups, and a comfortable, repeatable shoulder fit for prone, bench, and field positions.
Aluminum Receiver Strength: The black anodized aluminum receiver provides durability and rigidity to help maintain zero and consistent accuracy over long shooting sessions.
10+1 Capacity: A practical magazine size for varmints and range work, with smooth feeding for quick follow-ups.

Built for Real-World Accuracy
From prairie dog towns to 100-yard steel racks, the RTA17BL’s design focuses on consistency. The fluted barrel manages heat and keeps the front end nimble, while the rigid receiver and Bravo stock promote stable shot fundamentals. The threaded muzzle allows you to fine-tune recoil impulse and sight behavior with compatible devices, and the rail keeps your optic locked down under frequent transport and hard use.

Top Rail Real Estate: Mount traditional scopes for precision, LPVOs for speed, or red dot + magnifier combos for all-around versatility.
