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.
It is unusual among semiautomatic 22s, and traditional semi-automatic rifles in general, in that it is available in a true left-handed version. Some consider this particularly helpful for new, especially young shooters, as it leaves them free to focus on more important matters to learn.
