Use 

The .17 HM2 is a rimfire cartridge with higher velocity than .22 LR and minimal recoil, suited to small game and target shooting. The 21-inch barrel and 1:14" twist are matched to the cartridge. The 6 lb weight is easy to manage for new and younger shooters. Finding .17 HM2 ammunition can be harder than .22 LR in some areas, which is worth considering before purchase.

The Savage Mark II FV .17 HM2 gets generally positive feedback for accuracy and value.

Owners describe the rifle as accurate and smooth-cycling, with the AccuTrigger drawing favorable comments for its adjustable pull. The lightweight 6 lb build is cited positively for extended range sessions and handling ease.

The main concern is .17 HM2 ammunition availability. Some owners note it is harder to find and more expensive than .22 LR, which affects high-volume shooting budgets. There are occasional mentions of wanting more stock customization options, but overall owners are satisfied with the factory ergonomics.
