Zanders, a premier national distributor based in Sparta, Illinois, is excited to announce that Franklin Armory®’s F17® in .17WSM and F22® in .22LR are in stock and ready to ship to dealers across the country.

The Franklin Armory F17® is the world's first piston driven rimfire platform. This rifle is chambered in the amazing .17 Winchester Super Magnum and it provides a cleaner and flatter shooting solution for all kinds of pest control.

The F17-X R2 has a new Osprey Defense slim piston system. The new piston system automatically adjusts for suppressed or unsuppressed use, no adjustments needed and functions with most suppressors! This pairs perfect for use with the 16” barrel which is threaded in the common ½-28 thread pitch perfect for use with compatible suppressors. The new proprietary handguard features an integrated barrier stop / indexing point and is M-Lok compatible.

The Franklin Armory F22™ series is packed with tons of great features and best of all it is factory built and tuned for the best Binary® experience. This complete .22LR firearm from Franklin Armory has low recoil and easy to use controls makes the F22 Rifle a perfect introduction to the BFS system. The F22™ is great for competition shooters, tactical shooters, and recreational enthusiasts.

Key F22™ Features:

• Extended magazine release for faster and easier magazine changes
• The built-in picatinny receiver rail makes the F22 ready for your optic of choice
• A fluted heavy barrel is threaded in the popular 1/2-28 thread pitch, ready to work with your preferred muzzle device or suppressor
• An enhanced firing pin provides more reliable detonation of the primer
• The Hogue® OverMolded™ stock allows for grip and comfort
• Knurled Charging Handle & Auto Bolt Release
