Franklin Armory F17-X | .17 WSM | 16in | 20+1 | 0010058BLK

The Franklin Armory F17-X is a piston-driven semi-automatic rifle chambered in .17 Winchester Super Magnum. It pairs a 16″ precision threaded barrel with an OPS piston system optimized for suppressed or unsuppressed use and is built on aluminum upper/lower receivers with M-LOK compatibility. For glass, a compact variable such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 is a suitable choice under $1,000 that complements the F17-X for varmint work and precision rimfire shooting.

Typical applications include pest control and varmint/field shooting where a flat-shooting, high-velocity rimfire cartridge provides extended reach and minimal recoil.
