Nah, it's used in Europe as well. 8117 seems to correlate with the CBC model number, so maybe Rossi USA don't want punters there knowing it's a CBC made rifle. The RB17 action looks the same to me, but the stock is different. The action is the same used in the mossberg 817 and the Citadel 17HMR (which I don't think is in the catalog either) - just the stocks are all different.
