About this product
The Franklin Armory F17-L delivers rimfire accuracy with centerfire reliability, built around the high-velocity .17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge. This rifle’s self-regulating piston system keeps things running cool and clean, whether you’re at the range, varmint hunting, or running a suppressor. A solid choice for Utah’s diverse shooting needs.
The Franklin Armory F17-L in .17 WSM is designed for shooters who want more performance from a rimfire platform. It uses the .17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge, pushing a 20-grain bullet at over 3000 fps, making it effective for longer range shooting here in Utah. The F17-L’s piston system keeps the action clean and functioning reliably, even when using suppressors—a useful feature for those practicing sound suppression on the range or in the field.
