Description
The Savage 64 FXP with Scope LH 22LR 21″ Barrel, Synthetic Black, 10rd is a left-handed, scoped .22 LR rifle ready for plinking and small game hunting right out of the box. For under $200, you get a reliable, accurate rimfire package that’s perfect for new shooters or anyone wanting a dedicated lefty .22. I’ve put hundreds of rounds through various Savage 64 models, and they’re consistently solid performers for the price.

Here’s the thing—left-handed shooters often get the short end of the stick, having to adapt to right-handed controls. This rifle flips the script. The ejection port and bolt handle are on the left side, so spent brass goes away from your face. The safety is also ambidextrous. The included 4x32mm scope is a basic but clear optic that handles the light recoil of .22 LR just fine. The whole package weighs in at a manageable 5.5 pounds, making it easy to carry all day in the field. At $187.90, it’s a straightforward value proposition.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the left-handed shooter looking for an affordable, ready-to-hunt .22 package. It’s an ideal first firearm for a new shooter, a great trainer for developing fundamentals, or a trusty tool for pest control and small game. If you’re a righty teaching a left-handed family member, this is a respectful choice that shows you considered their needs—no gunsmithing required to make it work for them.
Pros & Cons
Pros: True left-handed operation eliminates adaptation. The scope-included package offers immediate utility. Savage’s reputation for out-of-the-box reliability in rimfire is well-earned. The synthetic stock is low-maintenance. The price point is very accessible for a dedicated lefty gun.
Cons: The trigger is serviceable but not match-grade—it’s a bit heavy and gritty, which is common in this price range. The 10-round magazine is the standard offering, though extras are available. The scope is entry-level; serious target shooters may want to upgrade later. The semi-auto action can be picky with ultra-cheap, low-velocity ammo—stick with standard or high-velocity rounds for best function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: Yes, the scope is mounted on a integrated base and has been bore-sighted at the factory. You’ll still need to fire a few groups at the range to fine-tune the zero for your specific ammunition, but you’re starting from a very close point of aim.
Q: What kind of ammunition does it run best with?
A: For reliable cycling in this semi-auto, I recommend standard or high-velocity .22 LR rounds from brands like CCI Mini-Mag, Federal AutoMatch, or Aguila SuperExtra. It typically runs about 1,180 feet per second with a 40-grain round nose. Avoid sub-sonic or bulk pack ammo with extremely low power if you want flawless function.
Q: Are extra magazines easy to find?
A: They are. The Savage 64 uses a proprietary 10-round rotary magazine. They’re widely available online and at most gun shops that carry Savage parts. I’d suggest picking up at least one spare—it makes range sessions a lot smoother. This rifle, like all we offer, is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, where compliant.
Look, if you’re a southpaw in the market for a no-fuss .22 that’s ready to go, the Savage 64 FXP LH is a hard package to beat. It fills a specific niche without a niche price tag. It’s a workhorse, not a showpiece, and it does its job without complaint. See the full details on our site.
