Savage Arms 64F Takedown 22LR Semi Auto Rifle, Black – 40207

Compared the Henry AR7 survival rifle and the Savage 64F takedown rifle. The Henry is flimsy compared to the Savage, weaker metal at the receiver and the lock nut and threads. Even could get barrel deflection with thumb pressure. The Henry is lighter and packs down smaller and even floats for a while. The Savage is more robust with stronger materials and a proven action. Easy to assemble and disassemble. In an long fall or crush situation I am not convinced the Henry would survive, the Savage I believe would. Depending on your needs the Henry would be fine, if you need a more rugged rifle I would go with the Savage, I did.

Got this a week ago went out shooting with it twice and put about 500 rounds through it so far with out any jams or malfunctions, the rear sight was a bit crooked, but i just gently tapped it back into place with a rubber mallet now it seems perfectly straight. i tried multiple different types of ammo and they all cycled flawlessly. Rifle barrel is extremely easy to take on and off and its over all a really sturdy rifle, would definitely reccomend it. Have this and the savage mark II FXP that ive had for 3 years, and both are great rifles never had an issue with either of them

Bought this little gun not to long ago. Very light good for hiking and keeping in the car for if you feel like shooting randomly!!!! I love it. Prefer it over the ar7 which cost more. Only thing about the ar7 (i have one as well) is that the ar7 all stowes in the stock. All that asisde i prefer the savage!!!

Great for plinking around the campsite and great for teaching my 8 year old firearms safety and shooting.

since i bought it and tried to install a telescopic sight, but no rail matches the holes of the screws with those of the rifle, also the screws do not allow the barrel to be inserted, since they protude.

I bought my first rifle a few months ago and was so impressed with it that recently I purchased a second rifle . The simplicity of the rifle and being able to put it in a small cue stick size bag was a plus . I recently did a camo paint job on both , came out great . The rifle fires nicely and after a few mags I have yet to have had a feed issue or eject . Think these rifles are great , easy carry and clean up is simple Recommended...

This review is for the Savage64, which Basspro and Cabellas, should still stock. This 22lr was a joy to shoot and is spot on accurate, right out of the box. The longer barrel on the 64 also gives you greater muzzle velocity. This semi will eat up most 22lr ammo, but really excelled at the high velocity stuff. You’ll get great groupings at 50,100 and 150 yards. The 64 is a floating barrel and that probably adds to its accuracy. There are a few negatives, as you might expect on a rifle under 200$. No lock back after final cartridge is expelled and the magazine placement/release is cumbersome and requires some practice. But all in all. Throw on a decent scope or red dot and a bipod and you’ll have a blast shooting all day.

Purchased this 64F Takedown as part of my GoBag gear. Savage has a decent reputation, so I went with this rifle over the Ruger takedown, which I regret. The rifle is perfect size & weight for packing in your bag when on the go. That's the good part. What I completely dislike is the cocking handle which is too small and is not comfortable when operating i.e., cocking, locking the handle into the counter bore position and when releasing the bolt forward to load a round. This is especially difficult if you have an optic mounted as I do. Additionally, the bolt does not lock to the rear after the last round has been expended. The second issue I have with the 64F is the magazine latch release located at the front of the magazine well. It is relatively small and requires the shooter to move the latch forward to eject the magazine, which is awkward and not smooth whatsoever. Inserting the magazine is not very smooth either. The magazine itself has sharp edges so taping the mag upon inserting to ensure fully seating is not advisable. Lastly, I shot about 50 rounds of CCI Quiet-22 through the 64F right out of the box and experienced two misfeed/misfires. I did not clean the rifle following this initial shoot and when I returned to the range a week later fired 50 rounds of CCI Stangers. I had multiple stove piping and jams during this session. Also, on a number of occasions upon loading a magazine with 10 rounds, releasing the bolt forward - the rifle failed to fire a round. This required me to pull back again on the cocking handle and then releasing forward to load a round and then fire. I have no idea why the round was not loaded into the chamber when introducing the mag into the well and releasing the bolt forward. So, if I had to do it all over again, I'd attempt to find a Ruger takedown.

It's what I expected it to be. I do not like the magazine release. it's very poorly thought out. there is just not enough of it there to be really functional. i complained to savage about it but never heard back. an aftermarket one is about $30.

Fun little gun and is very easy to take down , shoot pretty well no Misfire or jam at all with the 10 rounds magazine that come with. But the sight is not good not matter how you address it the gun shoot low. Need to find a picatinny rail and a scope. Take some trying but find it the weaver mount at buds, other than that is a great fun little gun and the price is awesome.

5 Stars for price worthiness. If you don't use a scope, you better have some of these elevation adjusting thingies in your pocket. These are flat, serrated wedges and not attached to the rifle, and they do get lost. No grooves for the scope, but mounting holes for two Weaver # 16 Scope Bases. With Quick Release Scope Rings, everything fits in the bag, that comes with it. Put some additional foam layer on the bottom of that bag, before throwing it in the trunk.
