      Buying .17 WSM Rifles in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 8 rifles in .17 WSM, and 3 are available today, all Savage B.MAG models. Ruger 77/17 and Winchester Xpert are also listed. The .17 WSM is a fast rimfire built on a larger case than the .17 HMR, used for rabbits, foxes and vermin at longer rimfire ranges.

      Bolt-action .17 WSM rifles are Category A in NSW. You need a current licence in that category and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each firearm. Since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once the applicant shows they meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years.

      Rifles available today run from $960 for the Savage BMAG Varmint to $1,165 for the BMAG Laminate. The listed range spans $650 to $2,226 for the Ruger 77/17 Green Laminate.

      The Savage BMAG Varmint and Varmint Stainless have heavier barrels for shooting off a rest or bipod, while the BMAG Laminate is the more traditional all-round option. The Ruger 77/17 is the premium choice for those who prefer a walnut or laminate stock.

      Common questions

      What licence do I need for a .17 WSM rifle?
      A bolt-action .17 WSM is Category A, so you need a Category A licence and a PTA for each rifle.
      Which .17 WSM rifles are in stock?
      Three Savage BMAG models are available today: Varmint, Varmint Stainless and Laminate.
      Is .17 WSM better than .17 HMR for foxes?
      It carries more speed and energy, so it reaches foxes and vermin further out than a .17 HMR.
      Can you send a .17 WSM rifle interstate?
      Yes. It goes dealer to dealer to your nominated licensed dealer for $65, or $85 to WA.
