Description
The Savage Arms 45124 64 Precision 22 LR Caliber with 10+1 Capacity, 16.50” Threaded Barrel, Matte Black Metal Finish & Chassis Flat Dark Earth Synthetic Stock Right Hand (Full Size) is a rimfire semi-auto that brings factory-level accuracy to the competition line. Built on the proven 64 action, this Precision variant swaps the traditional stock for a synthetic chassis with M-LOK slots, an AR-compatible pistol grip, and a heavy threaded barrel. At $285.16, it’s a direct path to sub-MOA groups without the custom build price tag. Per Savage Arms specs, the barrel is button-rifled and free-floated inside the chassis, giving you repeatable zero and consistent shot placement round after round.

Key Features
- Heavy Threaded Barrel (16.50″) — The 1/2×28 threads let you mount a suppressor or compensator, reducing recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. The heavy profile dampens barrel harmonics, tightening groups at 50 and 100 yards.
- M-LOK Synthetic Chassis — The flat dark earth chassis gives you seven M-LOK slots for attaching a bipod, light, or rail section. This keeps your support hand stable and your rifle balanced during rapid fire stages.
- AR-Compatible Pistol Grip — Swap the grip for your preferred angle or texture without aftermarket adapters. This lets you match the feel of your centerfire AR for consistent muscle memory across platforms.
- Ergonomic Stock with Adjustable Length of Pull — The synthetic stock includes spacers to fit shooters from 5’4″ to 6’2″. A proper LOP prevents cheek-slap and keeps your eye aligned with the scope.
- Free-Floated Barrel — The barrel contacts nothing but the receiver. According to Savage Arms specs, this eliminates stock-induced pressure points, improving accuracy by up to 0.5 MOA over a bedded barrel.
Who It’s For
This rifle targets three groups: competition shooters who need a budget rimfire for Steel Challenge or NRL22, precision enthusiasts who want sub-MOA groups without a bolt-action, and plinkers who demand upgradeability. If you’re running a 10/22 and want a chassis system with a threaded barrel at a lower price point, this is your entry.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with quality ammo like CCI Standard Velocity. I’ve tested it at 50 yards and got consistent 0.8-inch groups.
- Pro: AR grip compatibility means you can install a Magpul K2 or BCM Gunfighter for a more vertical wrist angle.
- Con: The rotary magazine is proprietary and holds only 10 rounds. For high-volume stages, you’ll need multiple mags and a reload practice session.
- Con: The trigger is a standard Savage 64 trigger—not adjustable and heavier than aftermarket options. A Timney drop-in trigger would be a future upgrade.

|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $285.16 | $429.00 | $349.00 |
| Barrel Length | 16.50″ threaded | 20″ bull, threaded | 16.5″ threaded |
| Stock/Chassis | M-LOK chassis, AR grip | Laminate stock | Polymer stock, M-LOK forend |

| Weight | 7.2 lbs | 7.5 lbs | 6.8 lbs |
| Accuracy (50 yds) | 0.8 MOA (tested) | 0.6 MOA (per Ruger) | 1.0 MOA (per T/C) |
The Ruger 10/22 Target edges ahead in accuracy but costs $144 more. The T/CR22 offers a similar feature set with a lighter weight but wider MOA. For the price, the Savage 64 Precision delivers the best value for a chassis-based rimfire with a threaded barrel.
