This rifle is for recreational shooters who want a reliable, low-cost .22 LR for weekend plinking, first-time buyers looking for an easy-to-use entry-level semi-auto, and small-game hunters who need a lightweight, weatherproof field gun. The purple stock adds a personal touch for shooters who want something different from the usual black or wood.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Affordable price at $151.88; lightweight at just 5.5 lbs; reliable blowback action; optics-ready receiver; eye-catching purple stock.

FAQ
What type of ammunition does the Savage 64F use?
It uses standard .22 LR ammunition. Stick with high-velocity loads for best reliability during break-in, but standard velocity works fine after a few hundred rounds.
Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases (not included). A simple rail or rings let you mount most rimfire scopes or red dots.
Is the purple stock available in other colors?
This model comes only in purple synthetic. Savage offers the 64F in black synthetic and wood stocks, but the purple is a limited run.
What is the magazine capacity?
It ships with one 10-round detachable box magazine. Aftermarket 10- and 15-round mags are also available from Savage and third parties.
Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
Yes. The 64F has a right-side ejection port, but the ambidextrous safety and symmetrical stock work for lefties. Just watch for brass in your line of sight.
