Rossi Rimfire 8117 – 17HMR

Turnkey Varmint Performance

The ROSSI 8117 chambered in .17 HMR is a lightweight, easy-handling bolt-action rimfire built for varmint control, pest work, and precision rimfire practice. It’s often offered as a scoped kit (3–9×40) so new shooters can get to the range right away — confirm whether your SKU includes the optic and mounting hardware.

Low Recoil, Flat Trajectory

The .17 HMR cartridge delivers high velocity and a flat trajectory out of a light rifle, giving excellent terminal performance on small pests at typical rimfire ranges. Reduced recoil and minimal disturbance make this model ideal for long sessions, young shooters, and backyard predator control where legal.

Practical Optics & Ready-to-Shoot Setup

Many 8117 packages include a 3–9×40 scope and rings for a true plug-and-play experience. The scope magnification is versatile for quick close shots and usable for accuracy at extended rimfire distances. If the SKU is optic-less, the full-length rail and receiver are ready for mounting a compact scope or red-dot.

Rugged, Affordable, and Easy to Maintain

Rossi built the 8117 to be a reliable, budget-friendly rimfire platform. Its bolt action is simple to operate and maintain; the stock and metal finishes are field-worthy for routine use. It’s a practical choice for landowners, hobby shooters, and anyone who wants a capable rimfire without high cost.
