Description
Picture this: you’re walking the edge of a Missouri woodlot, the crisp fall air carrying the faint rustle of leaves. A squirrel darts up a hickory, pausing just long enough. You need a rifle that’s ready, reliable, and won’t break the bank if it picks up a scratch from the brush. That’s the exact scenario where the Savage 64F 22 LR 20.25″ Camo Blued shines. It’s the workhorse .22 LR semi-auto that gets the job done without fuss.
The Savage 64F is a no-frills, semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It features a 20.25-inch blued barrel, a durable synthetic stock in a camouflage pattern, and a 10-round detachable box magazine. Priced at $173.80, it’s built for practical, budget-conscious shooting—plinking, small game hunting, and introductory use. This rifle is drop-in ready and ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Let’s talk about what you’re actually getting. The heart of the value is in its straightforward operation. The 64F uses a simple blowback action that feeds reliably from its single-stack magazine. The camo synthetic stock isn’t just for looks; it’s tough, weather-resistant, and hides wear far better than a glossy finish. That 20.25-inch barrel provides a solid sight radius and helps with accuracy, while keeping the overall length manageable. You get a classic, open rear sight and a blade front, which are perfectly serviceable for most tasks. Want to add optics? The receiver is grooved for standard .22 tip-off scope mounts, making it compatible with popular rimfire scopes from brands like Simmons and Bushnell.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t a match-grade target rifle. It’s a tool. The trade-off for the low price point is a trigger that’s functional but not exceptional, and an action that prioritizes reliability over buttery-smooth operation. But for putting rounds downrange affordably, it’s incredibly hard to beat. The rifle weighs in at a light 5.5 pounds, making it easy to carry all day. That lightness, combined with the low recoil of the .22 LR cartridge, makes it an ideal first rifle for a new shooter. You’re investing in function, not flash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect from the Savage 64F?
A: With standard velocity ammunition and using the iron sights, you can expect consistent 1 to 1.5-inch groups at 50 yards, which is more than adequate for small game and plinking. Adding a basic rimfire scope can often tighten that up.
Q: Are extra magazines easy to find and affordable?
A: Yes. Factory 10-round magazines for the Savage 64 series are widely available and typically cost between $20 and $30. They are a worthwhile investment for a day at the range.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor or muzzle device?
A: No, the barrel on this standard 64F model is not threaded. It is a plain, crowned barrel as it comes from the factory.
