I just bought this rifle and and a GSG16 last year. Hands down the quality of this rifle is better. Better steel magazines, less plastic parts to deal with that will ultimately strip out after so many cleanings. Only thing better about the GSG is the bolt hold open feature. Even though they suggest removing that feature from the bolt to stop the feeding issues with it. 22’s a 22’s a 22 otherwise.
Great review sir. I'm shopping around for one as we speak. couple things, (1) as for the grip irritation issue, a piece of felt on 2 sided tape should provide a fix and (2) I just dropped in an MCARBO trigger spring kit on my 64F, the difference is day and night. thank u sir.
You were totally the reason i bought this rifle here in montana as my little plinker/backpacking rifle and honest the really reason i was not at all disappointed or anything when i had my failure to feed issues with my magazine i had like 3 in think in the first 5 full magazines i dumped out of it ever since shes been running smooth cant wait to add all the magpul components i have for it although must ask what kind of flash hider/muzzle break are you using saw it wasnt rhe standard thread cap that comes with it anymore
I'm glad I could help. The muzzle device is a S&J Hardware Micro Linear Compensator. I don't know if you can get that specific model and brand in the US. But honestly, it doesn't really do much, linear compensators are not worth it on the rifle. If you're in Montana, you should really look at getting a suppressor for it. I think it would fit the rifle really well. That's what I would do if they were legal in Canada.
@Bats888 well ahead of you on that one lol got a fat 12 inch can that I'm hoping to run here soon I bought the thing for 299.99 at shiptons no tax and it was an absolute steal I just want to be able to have something small that looks nice like a linear comp on the barrel to give it some pizzaz but I will say for a Canadian made "precision" 22 rifle I absolute love it and honestly glad I followed this channel I have a nice ass houge grip on mine and it feels soooooo much better
Nice video overall. My only issue was with the accuracy testing. You shot too fast and used bulk ammo. If you want to really see closer to the gun's mechanical accuracy, you should rest the rifle with better support, shoot slower, and use a higher quality load of ammunition. I believe the gun is capable of sub 2 moa accuracy, maybe sub 1.5 moa.
Every rifle I have ever owned had a preferred brand and grain ammo. My 22s usually require 10 different brands and grain weights in order tovfind maximum efficient round. I never buy Winchester white box? Unless realy cheap and as trade material.
Is it possible for you to do a disassembly and Assembly video in this gun ？I just got one but can't really find any disassembly video for cleaning yet. The price and the look is pretty good for this gun.
I don't have it anymore, so I can't. But Th Hunting Gear Guy did a teardown on the Savage 64. Once the stock is off, its just a normal Savage 64, so that video will work.
I bought one and i had to send it back, would not cycle with more than 12 rounds in the mag. Hopefully they can fix it, i tried 3 different types of ammo and 2 different mags and nothing made a difference 😊
Potentially. It is interesting, but it depends on the price. If it comes in at over 650, it's probably not worth it. We can get the non SBR versions for under 500.
I can only put 13-14 rounds in the 20 round mag. Anything after that just jams. Pretty lame. Also. You should do a break down and cleaning video, as there are no videos for this newer rifle
The mag needs breaking in. I could only load 15 rounds for a bit. I would suggest trying to load 12-15 until it feeds properly and then keep increasing until it feeds properly. When you take the stock off (two bottom screws), it's exactly like any other Savage 64. So you should be able to find cleaning instructions.
You don't need to completely disassemble to clean. Just the two screws at the bottom, lock the bolt back, and you can clean what is needed. A deep clean would be bit more involved, you have more screws and you have to take off the barrel to take out the bolt. The gun is mostly just designed for a light cleaning every once in a while.
You said its not a match rifle yet there are guys shooting matches with them. Maybe if you found the ammo ot likes and a better scope you would surprise yourself at how accurate this little gun can be. I mean the word precision is in the name and i have found it to be very accurate and i have even ran it a couple times in local matches both indoor and outdoor. While i didnt win the matches the rifle was very competitive out to 100 yards and even better between 35 to 75 yards. To say its not a match rifle isnt correct any magazine fed rifle can be used for a match ,just some may work better then others. By saying its not a match rifle may discourage someone on a tight budget from purchasing this gun and trying to shoot a match.
I do agree with your statement. I have a Savage Model 64 21 in bbl and poly stock. Ran thousands and thousands of rounds through it. Smacking cans, clays and whatever all day at a 100 yrds with it and having fun. Using a Sig Romeo for sights. Now I'm having issues with the firearm. Light strikes, worn out firing pin. I clean it after I use the firearm (yes, I'm very strict on cleaning stuff that I buy). Cause I've used it so much it outlive it's parts. Needed parts but so hard to find. I love the firearm so much because it can drill targets and is a .22 cal. I stopped by at a gun store yesterday and saw the bull bbl Savage 64 (same as on this video) and bought me one, no questions asked. bought it and ran away with it. If you're thinking of buying this firearm. You will never be disappointed. Good price + a bull bbl.
Ah OK thank you been trying to upgrade the stock. Don't really like the promag one saw ur video and they look the same but your right who knows if they sell just the stock
Is there any concern with dry firing this rifle? Noticed the bolt doesn't lock after firing the last round in the mag so can definitely see that happening quite a bit.
In my opinion, this is a target rifle, not a tactical rifle. If you want to just slap rounds down range without any technique, get 10/22, or a savage 64S. This rifle is for precision target shooting. Hence the name.
I saw a police report where a man taught his 13 year old daughter to shoot a 22 well. She decided to start killing people and took down several people, including a cop that knew where she was and didn't expose himself for more than 2 seconds, either the little girl or the cheap 22 were terribly tactical
That rifle is garbage 100% bought one at Academy they’ll send it back to savage it will jam the action all the way back and then you have to take it down and back off one of the trigger screws to losing the action it jammed with cci, federal, and subsonic, it’s nothing but pure junk for 20 dollars more you can buy a Ruger 1022
