Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Savage Model 64 accept aftermarket magazines?
The Savage Model 64 uses a proprietary 10-round detachable box magazine. While aftermarket options exist from some third-party manufacturers, Savage-brand replacement magazines are the most reliable choice and are widely available online and at firearm retailers. Always verify magazine compatibility before purchasing.
Can I mount a scope on the Savage Model 64?
Yes. The Savage 64 features a grooved receiver (11mm tip-off rail) that accepts standard .22 rimfire scope rings and mounts. This makes it easy to add a rimfire scope or red dot sight for improved accuracy at longer ranges while still retaining the factory open sights if desired.
What types of .22 LR ammunition work best in the Savage 64?
The Savage Model 64 functions best with standard or high-velocity .22 LR ammunition, which provides sufficient energy to cycle the semi-automatic action reliably. Subsonic or CB-cap loads may not cycle the action consistently. For plinking and target shooting, standard velocity bulk .22 LR ammo is an economical and effective choice.
