Savage 64f vs. 64g

JonF. · Dec 3, 2019

Which do you guys like better, I have narrowed down my search for a good semi .22 to these two. I personally like the look of the 64G better than the 64F, but I'd rather have a more reliable gun than a prettier one. They are both the same size, but the 64G is $230 as opposed to the 64F which is $140.

64G↑

64F ↑

Since they use the same action, there should be no reliability difference.....

Swap the stocks around and either would be the other. Any reliability or accuracy difference favoring one or the other would be coincidental.

I think the only difference between these two is the stock. I am not sure that will affect reliability but it might affect weight if that is important. I personally like the wood stock.

Id buy both.

Go with the wood & you'll have a more solid base.

Personally, I'd buy the 64F and see how I liked it. Then, if I decided I wanted a prettier stock, I'd order a Boyd's laminate. The price difference between the F and G is around $90, the Boyd's stock is $150 or so. So, should you decide you want a wood stock, you'd pay $60 more but get a FAR superior stock

I bought one a while back but had huge issues with the Magazine's wearing out very quickly. They were made from some kind of pot metal. Do a search on the mag issues.

Not the 64, but I own a Mark II and I will concur mags are definitely Savage's weak spot on their rimfire rifles.

I'm almost positive mine is a 64 bought it new for a great price because no one wanted a 22lr with a muzzle break
