The Ruger 10/17 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered for the .17 HMR round.
History
Its maker, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., announced the rifle on January 16, 2004.[1] The Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. 2006 Annual Report indicates that the 10/17 is no longer being produced.[2]
Design
The Ruger 10/17 was essentially a Ruger 10/22 WMR model modified to fire the .17 HMR round. Similar to the 10/22 WMR model, the 10/17 had a hardwood stock, a steel receiver with integrated scope mounts, and a nine round rotary magazine. The 10/17 has a slightly longer barrel than the 10/22 WMR model (20" vs. 18.5") but a shorter overall length (37.25" vs. 38.5").
