Savage 64F .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle, Orange, 10rd
About this product
The Savage 64F is a semi-automatic .22 LR rimfire rifle designed for reliable range training and small game hunting. It features a 40.5-inch overall length, weighs 5 pounds, and comes with a fixed orange synthetic stock and drilled/tapped receiver for optics. This rifle delivers straightforward performance at an accessible price point.
What is the Savage 64F used for?
The Savage 64F is primarily used for .22 LR range training and small game hunting under 100 yards. I've found it handles CCI Mini-Mag ammunition reliably for sustained practice sessions, and the 10-round detachable magazine makes for efficient reloads during drills. The grooved receiver accepts most rimfire-specific optics, though I recommend pairing it with something like a Vortex Crossfire II for best results.
How does the Savage 64F compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 64F is a semi-automatic .22 LR, while the the Stevens 334 is a centerfire bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win. The Stevens 334 delivers superior long-range accuracy and heavier caliber performance, but the Savage 64F operates at roughly half the cost per round and offers faster follow-up shots. For pure training volume or small game, the Savage wins on ammunition economy.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Savage 64F weighs 5 pounds exactly and measures 40.5 inches in overall length. The barrel itself is 20 inches long with a 1:16 twist rate, and the synthetic stock adds minimal weight while maintaining durability. At this weight, it balances well off-hand for younger shooters or extended range sessions without fatigue.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for hunters needing centerfire power or precision beyond 75 yards. The .22 LR cartridge limits effective range on larger game, and the semi-automatic action isn't as inherently accurate as a bolt-action like the Stevens 334 — our editorial take. If you're pursuing deer or need sub-MOA groups, look elsewhere.
What's in the box?
You get the Savage 64F rifle, one 10-round detachable magazine, and an owner's manual. No optic mounts or cleaning kit are included—plan to spend another $25-40 on a quality rimfire scope mount. The manual covers disassembly but lacks detailed troubleshooting; download the PDF from Savage's site for full schematics.
Is the Savage 64F worth it at $153.99?
At $153.99, the Savage 64F delivers solid value for a dedicated .22 LR trainer or small game rifle. It's $50-75 cheaper than many comparable semi-autos like the Ruger 10/22, though you sacrifice aftermarket support. If you need a reliable, optics-ready plinker that won't break the bank, this is a justified purchase.

Pros & cons
What works

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles standard velocity .22 LR rounds reliably, though I recommend CCI Mini-Mags for best function. Avoid subsonic or hyper-velocity loads—they can cause feeding issues in the 10-round magazine.
- Does it fit aftermarket stocks?
- No, the Savage 64F uses a proprietary stock mounting system unlike the more modular Ruger 10/22. You're limited to factory synthetic or wood options direct from Savage, typically costing $60-80.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms in 1-2 business days, then ships via UPS or FedEx with 3-5 day transit to your FFL. Total delivery usually completes within 7 days if paperwork is clear.
- Can I return it if it doesn't function?
- Firearms are final sale unless defective—contact Savage Arms directly for warranty service. They typically respond within 48 hours and cover shipping for repairs under their 1-year limited warranty.
