Savage Model 64

Savage Model 64 series is a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle made by Savage Arms in Canada. It operates on a simple blowback action. It is marketed to beginning shooters, small-game hunters, and budget-minded target shooters. It is one of the more popular hunting and target-shooting rifles in the United States due to its accuracy, use of the popular and inexpensive .22 long rifle ammunition, and its low price.[1]

It is unusual among semiautomatic 22s, and traditional (non-bullpup) semi-automatic rifles in general, in that it is available in a true left-handed version (left handed safety, charging handle and eject -presumably wrong handed twist). Some consider this particularly helpful for new, especially young shooters, as it leaves them free to focus on more important matters to learn.[1]

The "64 series" has sold under [combination of manufacturers' names listed above] [62, 64 and 954] [one or more letters]. It was also sold as Sears Roebuck & Co. Model 6C. Although often unexpressed in speech, as a "64" it is almost always followed by a single series letter."64" without a letter indicates the first year of manufacturer only. That version had a plastic magazine. It is considered undesirable. It was followed by the 64B.[1]

The Model 64 Savage has a full floating barrel, standard. It is considered by many users to be more accurate "out of the box" than some more expensive rifles.[1]

In 2019, Savage designed a variant of the Model 64 designed for easy disassembly and reassembly. This variant is called the Model 64 Takedown. The Model 64 Takedown is only available in matte-black with synthetic stock. It comes out of the box drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The Model 64 Takedown is manufactured at Savage's facility in Canada.[2]
