I still have my original 64 from when I was a kid. I lived in Cobourg ON and that is where the winchester cooey plant was. It was sweet to be able to go to the plant and get parts.
I've got one, too, give to me about a dozen years ago. A farm gun that wasn't looked after very well, so I'm refinishing it. Like it enough that I bought a current 64 with a decent 4X scope on it for a whopping $169! I had a Ruger 10/22 for decades that I sold, as I never really like the 'stubby' feel of it. The 64 doesn't weigh much more but feels like a full size rifle.
This is by far hands down the best budget plinker you can buy. I got one of these back in 2002 I think and it took on more than 12,000 rounds until I regretfully sold it and it never had a single failure. Wonderful rifle I'd recommend it to anyone.
@@ravenblackwing7888 if they are still put together the same as they were 21 years ago you've made a great choice I threw a crappy Walmart Tasco on it and killed many rabbits and squirrels. I miss it
I just bought mine today and immediately fell in love with it. Love the synthetic stock. It flows effortlessly to your shoulder, with an immediate sight picture. I found it to be well balanced, with excellent simple sights. For $99.00, I was expecting less.
I'm jealous you paid less than a hundred bucks for it. I paid $361.59... Jokes aside, I have high hopes for when I first shoot it in a couple of days once I pick it up. If only they would have made the front sight fixed, as well as make the tip of the front sight something other than black. That's where the old Cooeys excelled. They had a wonderful sight picture, good for shooting in low light conditions. I guess we just have to live with the fact that old guns are better...
I have the same rifle but with wooden stock. I got it for Christmas when I was nine. It was my first gun and I still own it. I absolutely love shooting it. Its accurate and deadly. Im nearly 40 and it remains one of my favorite guns.
I have had 3 or 4 of these. When I see one in a gun shop or pawn shop for a good price, I pick it up knowing I can sell it someday for a profit. Great rifle. Magazines are easy to get a hold of. Always good for the old timers looking for a squirrel gun, or someone new to shooting. Always a recommendation from me.
i dont know why i punish myself by watching these videos, its heart breaking that we cant easily own semi auto rimfires down under, love the channel, keep up the great work
Let me tell you. I am 20 years old and live in NC so gun rights are looser here. With that being said, I can walk into a Walmart rn, and as long as I don’t have a criminal background, I can walk out with any shotgun or semi auto rifle I want.
@@X.L.B1 We can basically in Canada too but we need a licence first. Certain rifles like ar-15 are restricted and then we need a different licence and have to wait a week to pickup as it has to be registered in your name.
I like Savage arms as I have 2 320 shotguns and love them but wanted a 22 semi for enjoyment these rated high , no suprise . I threw 4 different types of amo and the best being CCI . This gun lives up to its billing . Very accurate , eats every type of ammo and a delight to shoot and very fast . Looks great , shoots like a dream and could shoot this all day . I got my sig other into the Savage arms bolt action 22 , excellent starter and she loved this as well.....break down was simple and I could have shot this all day .......great pawn shop prize at 100.00 for a very clean rifle that was clearly well cared for .
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
Picked up one of these just yesterday. Thanks for telling me about this rifle Sootch. I've been looking for an inexpensive semi auto .22 and I think I'm going to be very happy with it. Loyal CA viewer, keep it up!
I got a savage 64 for Christmas when I was 16 years old, I am now 40 and it's still the .22 I use the most. I have put thousands of rounds through the gun without any issues.
For everyone having feed issues there are 2 things to try.1. Use plated ammo instead of un-plated lead round nose.2. Try polishing the magazine feed ramp lip. It is very small - maybe about 0.1" or so but if the lip is rough it might just hang up a lead round nose shell. I used a Dremel and a small rotary wire brush and polished it smooth. This may go a long way toward solving some feed issues.
My dad bought this as my first rifle when I was 12. Made by Lakefield arms in 1985 - exact same but with a wood stock. Still have it and will pass it on to my own son.
Sitting here watching the video while cleaning my sr40c, I'm going to buy this for my grandson. Think that would be a nice present for his 15th birthday. 👍👍
I love this rifle!!! I have this with the scope it was my first gun i bought four years ago!!! My kids and wife and inlaws love this gun!! So stoked to watch this review!!!
Thanks again for you honest opinions ... I just got one based on a couple of reviews .. and love it! Always enjoy and trust your reviews. You seem to be one of the more professional sounding/visual videos!
I've had the 64 G variant with a stained wood stock, and a scope for about 11 years now and love it. One nice thing about the 64 G is that it's drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Great gun for sure. The magazine is a little weird, but most .22 LR rifle magazines are IMO. It's definitely not a huge deal. Great review on a great gun!
I remember seeing the wood stock 64 in Canadian tire back in the 90's. I see now that they have this model on sale at my local store, think its time to relive some childhood memories.
This was my first firearm, bought about 7 years ago. It's been pretty darn reliable and I can't really complain at its price point. They're commonly available at Big 5 Sporting Goods out here on the West Coast.
Picked one up for $112 used at a local gun shop to teach several people how to shoot. It accomplished that task with ease. Loaned it to my dad over the summer to deal with pests. shots are between 10 and 100 yards. It decimated the local groundhog population. Now I use it for a cheap day of shooting in the back 40. Some day, I plan to teach my children to shoot and maybe pass it on to them. I think at this point, mine has probably paid for its self multiple times over.
Heck yeah! Just got one a week ago! It’s great, even the mag release and charging handle aren’t as bad as folks say. Would suggest considering to put some paint on the front site post. I borrowed some nail polish from my gf and it really helped the visibility.
Really appreciate your video. Great job on presenting the gun and it highlights. I went and bought one at Walmart today for $99 excited to take it to the range.
Just got one of these for Christmas and shot it today. After 100 rounds it was flawless no issues. I love it. Got it for $99 to which you just can't really beat. Fun little plinker
I got mine the same way you did sootch It was $64.99 and one of the last few In the store and of course I couldn't pass up a firearm for that price I've had nothing but fun with it since
Just picked one up today at Walmart. $133.00 before taxes and it is the camo version. Love the feel of the stock and how light it is. ALWAYS JUST WANTED TO ON A "SAVAGE" because of the name and reputation.. I really like you present your video, so, liked and subscribed. One more thing, God bless the USA and and Thanksgiving to all!
Thanks again Scotch! Just picked up the bull barrel target version w/3-9x scope for 175 at auction NIB. Sweet shooter like you said! Worth every penny.
Raves we have a crazy ass 50% tax on ammo & guns legislation to vote on in November . Scared shitless bro I’m a new gun owner finally but wonder how this will play out . I have this and a Tom cat 👌🏽 also just got a cross bow just in case cali gets worst and I need to reuse ammo haha
Amazing accuracy. Shooting dead on at 100 yards with iron sights using CCI Mini Mag 36gr HP. Taken groundhogs and raccoon with this rifle with ease. Got mine for $90 At Walmart. For the price it's a tack driver!
I had one of these and I couldn't get rid of it fast enough!!!! The biggest Jam-O-Matic POS I ever owned! It went back to the factory 3 times only to be told there's nothing wrong with it!!! Sold it and replaced it with a Henry, best gun move I ever made. Because of this, I have no love for any Savage product!

I bought the Savage 64 TR last week for $199 on sale (up in the Great White North, I know that sucks). Gave it a good cleaning, filed and polished the feed ramp as recommended by many. Mounted a red dot and headed to the range, using Federal Blue Box 525 at 30 & 50 yards I was getting groups no larger than 1/2". I did not experience one single FTF/FTE in the 525 rounds!!! Honest. It seems that I got a shooter. Can't say enough good things about Sootch00, his reviews and recommendations prompted me to buy the Savage 64(TR).can't til the next range trip. God Bless All
I'm a Marine, no longer on active duty. Looking to own some weapons for fun and self-defense. Would like to also show my daughters and wife how to shoot and respect these weapons... Thanks for your opinions and good info... Stay safe and be good and God Bless... D2
Sold mine a few weeks ago to “upgrade to a Ruger 10/22. I’ve already sold the 10/22, and I’m buying 2 Savage 64s and a scope as soon as I get off work. Nothing against the 10/22-I guess I see what people like-but I just really prefer the Savage 64!
I use to use a little bit of white-out to make a small dot on the front post on my guns that didn't have any other sights other than the post...works like a charm!
Cody Mccall i'll be honest... we would've still believed him even if he just says that thing is steel. Plus he didn't have to pull the flashlight tho 😂 that was a bad scratch too, would've been pissed if that was me scratching my own gun.
I just bought the Savage 64 Precision. It is one sharp looking rifle! I ordered it from Sportsman's Warehouse and it arrived in 5 days. It comes with one 20 round magazine. I put a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot optical on it. It also comes with a threaded barrel and a picatinny rail. The barrel is a 16 inch bull barrel. I have put around 300 rounds through it without a flaw. Looking forward to your review on it, I love it!
For anywhere from $150-$200 CAD for the G model it's a snag. For $200-$250 you can get the takedown aswell. An absolute steal of a deal! Love these rifles.
the one i had was very accurate when it wanted to fire. mine would only ever fire 5 our of the 10 rounds in the magazine, it just didn't seem to work well for me. bought new mags, tried different ammo. , i just could get it to work for me , so i sold it and got a ruger 10/22
Just left a comment saying pretty much the same issue, glad its not just me. Poor reliability but pretty accurate. pretty much the definition of a rifle that will piss you off :D lol
just purchased one for $160 after tax and background check but since I'm in California they're holding it hostage for 10 days... then I have to buy a cali-approved lock before they'll give it to me, merica!!.....ish
Great video helped me make up my mind . Was looking to upgrade my 15 year old daughter from her break action Rossi 22lr . I think she will like that model and features it has. It will make a good Christmas gift for her this year .
I've got a Savage Model 64, a Mark II, and a Rascal for the kids. All of them are great rifles and a great value, in fact I prefer my Savages to my Ruger 10-22. My kids started shooting at 6 and 7 years old and were popping balloons at 100 yards with that Rascal in no time flat!
Just bought one. Cycled fine with Remington Goldens, CCI AR15 tacticals, Federal auto match and winchester superspeeds. Only problem was failure to fire 2 out of every 10 or so rounds of winchesters but that is the ammo, not the gun. I do need to scope mine because my vision isnt what it used to be. Overall Im sure the gun shoots better than I can lol.
I live in Canada and bought one 2 years ago on special at 250$ Its crazy, guns here are always double what you would pay in the US. Now even if you consider the exchange rate thats around 20%. Yet everything is double. Plus that particular rifle is made in Ontario Canada.
I personally haven't had a great track record with mine. I bought mine for $119 at a Sports Authority, after about a month my magazines feed lips where completely destroyed, they wouldn't keep the rounds in the magazine at all and popped them off just after 2 rounds of print pressure. On one of my last times shooting it, it began to rain and a very small amount of rain got into my case and on the gun. Just on the 20-30 minute ride home rust had eaten through the bluing on the barrel and now there are pits all along the outside of the barrel. To top it all off there is next to none aftermarket parts for the rifle not even an extended magazine.
Yikes. Savage stamped-steel magazines are sort of notoriously bad; I guess it comes with the price range. I think there may be something wrong with your rifle's bluing; mine is nowhere near that susceptible to rust. (hell, someone spilled a one-quart canteen onto my combat shotgun once and it suffered absolutely no rust)
I your gun is blued it's a given that you should wipe the whole thing down with oil every once in a while and you won't have any problems with rust. I do every time I clean or once a month.
Porty1119 I had multiple firearms that day that where all under the same if not worse conditions as the Savage and they where all fine, not a single thing wrong with them but the Savage was horrible.
aLpha Guns and gaming I do too but It literally happened on a 30 minute car ride home. I make sure to clean my firearms the as soon as I get back from shooting and when I took the Savage out of its case it was already to late.
I still have my original 64 from when I was a kid. I lived in Cobourg ON and that is where the winchester cooey plant was. It was sweet to be able to go to the plant and get parts.
scarmenl ill buy it im in north york

The real feeding problem is in the bullet ramp, it sits too low, built it up 3/32 taller and it will shoot any ammo.
I had same problem this too care of the problem

It seems that I got a shooter. Can't say enough good things about Sootch00, his reviews and recommendations prompted me to buy the Savage 64(TR).can't til the next range trip. God Bless All
I'm a Marine, no longer on active duty. Looking to own some weapons for fun and self-defense. Would like to also show my daughters and wife how to shoot and respect these weapons... Thanks for your opinions and good info... Stay safe and be good and God Bless... D2
I just got it for target practice, absolutely worth it love it, light weight and fun to shoot.
Great review. It's nice to see some reviews on .22 semi auto rifles other than the Ruger 10/22. The Ruger is the king, but there are alternatives.
had a Cooey when I was a kid. Just bought the 64f because I was feeling nostalgic.
Wow $64 thats insane! Its probably a good gun to get my son started with
jonnytestnj I got mine at Walmart for $125
Sold mine a few weeks ago to “upgrade to a Ruger 10/22. I’ve already sold the 10/22, and I’m buying 2 Savage 64s and a scope as soon as I get off work. Nothing against the 10/22-I guess I see what people like-but I just really prefer the Savage 64!
WHAT ARE THOSE!!! 0:42
Isai Calderon tactical chanclas lol
Lol
My 1st ever firearm I ever purchased. Good little rifle.
Nice tactical sandals "Jesus"....good video👍
Tactical Jesus!
I use to use a little bit of white-out to make a small dot on the front post on my guns that didn't have any other sights other than the post...works like a charm!
I've had my Marlin 880SQ (squirrel rifle) for years! Nice little .22 rifle...
Great vid for a great rifle
Great rifle, cheap got for $99 at my local walmart , nice, good looking, easy to shoot. Glad I purchased mine. Thankyou great video.
hey sootch, where can we get one of those shirts Hickok was wearing on the Instagram photo!?!?
Here's the link. www.1791apparel.com/products/sootch00 Thanks Ian~
thanks man! love your videos. keep up the good work!!!
Just bought one this evening. Glad I'm hearing good things.
Ive been looking at one in my local shop. Mind me asking what you paid? My local wants $199. Seems a bit high to me.
@@TheMainMan. Yeah that is high. I paid like 120.
@@thegamingchef3304 wow. Okay. Thank you.
So did anybody else notice him scratch THE FUCK out of his gun with the magnet 😂 at 5:00 I mean who cares budget gun.
Cody Mccall i'll be honest... we would've still believed him even if he just says that thing is steel. Plus he didn't have to pull the flashlight tho 😂 that was a bad scratch too, would've been pissed if that was me scratching my own gun.
Cody Mccall he did lol
Needs to put the saftey on even if its not loaded treat it like its loaded
if youre relying on the safety, youre not treating the rifle like its loaded
Yea dont use extra precautions like a saftey wouldnt want you to be overly safe now. Smh
I just bought the Savage 64 Precision. It is one sharp looking rifle! I ordered it from Sportsman's Warehouse and it arrived in 5 days. It comes with one 20 round magazine. I put a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot optical on it. It also comes with a threaded barrel and a picatinny rail. The barrel is a 16 inch bull barrel. I have put around 300 rounds through it without a flaw. Looking forward to your review on it, I love it!
i been waiting for this review. This gun is always on sale at Academy.
For anywhere from $150-$200 CAD for the G model it's a snag. For $200-$250 you can get the takedown aswell. An absolute steal of a deal! Love these rifles.
the one i had was very accurate when it wanted to fire. mine would only ever fire 5 our of the 10 rounds in the magazine, it just didn't seem to work well for me. bought new mags, tried different ammo. , i just could get it to work for me , so i sold it and got a ruger 10/22
Just left a comment saying pretty much the same issue, glad its not just me. Poor reliability but pretty accurate. pretty much the definition of a rifle that will piss you off :D lol
fun to shoot but i could only shoot two or three rounds and it would jam
Just bought my first one!
just purchased one for $160 after tax and background check but since I'm in California they're holding it hostage for 10 days... then I have to buy a cali-approved lock before they'll give it to me, merica!!.....ish
Haha I’m never going to California
It's still more gun than you can purchase a lot of other places.
Maryland is strict too. But you get the gun that day unless its a hand gun and then you have to wait 2 weeks.
1911A1lover 45 I live in Michigan walkt out the the door Sam day with 500 ronds and trigger lock was free dam u got it bad there
1911A1lover 45 and it was $ 110
Great video helped me make up my mind . Was looking to upgrade my 15 year old daughter from her break action Rossi 22lr . I think she will like that model and features it has. It will make a good Christmas gift for her this year .
Can you put a scope on the 64f
Yes you can. I put a Simmons 4x32 on mine. Comes with rings and everything.
Southen Rebel01_ u can buy it with a scope to from website
I have a bsa sweet 22 3-9x40 on mine just need smaller air rifle style scope rings
Yep .. mine actually came with one. A Tasco Rimfire 4X15
I've got a Savage Model 64, a Mark II, and a Rascal for the kids. All of them are great rifles and a great value, in fact I prefer my Savages to my Ruger 10-22. My kids started shooting at 6 and 7 years old and were popping balloons at 100 yards with that Rascal in no time flat!
I just had a store save me 1 to pick up tomorrow. I could only get the one with a scope. Should I get it?
Marlin model 60 tube feed 😢miss it 14 years old now 28 looking for same guns
That Marlin is a good gun, so is this Savage.
So how many times did it jam? Lol
They rarely jam unless you're breaking into the magazine spring
Just bought one. Cycled fine with Remington Goldens, CCI AR15 tacticals, Federal auto match and winchester superspeeds. Only problem was failure to fire 2 out of every 10 or so rounds of winchesters but that is the ammo, not the gun. I do need to scope mine because my vision isnt what it used to be. Overall Im sure the gun shoots better than I can lol.
where to scratch the s*** out of your rifle at 4:57
lmao I thought the exact same thing xD
I live in Canada and bought one 2 years ago on special at 250$ Its crazy, guns here are always double what you would pay in the US. Now even if you consider the exchange rate thats around 20%. Yet everything is double. Plus that particular rifle is made in Ontario Canada.
I personally haven't had a great track record with mine. I bought mine for $119 at a Sports Authority, after about a month my magazines feed lips where completely destroyed, they wouldn't keep the rounds in the magazine at all and popped them off just after 2 rounds of print pressure. On one of my last times shooting it, it began to rain and a very small amount of rain got into my case and on the gun. Just on the 20-30 minute ride home rust had eaten through the bluing on the barrel and now there are pits all along the outside of the barrel. To top it all off there is next to none aftermarket parts for the rifle not even an extended magazine.
Yikes. Savage stamped-steel magazines are sort of notoriously bad; I guess it comes with the price range. I think there may be something wrong with your rifle's bluing; mine is nowhere near that susceptible to rust. (hell, someone spilled a one-quart canteen onto my combat shotgun once and it suffered absolutely no rust)
I your gun is blued it's a given that you should wipe the whole thing down with oil every once in a while and you won't have any problems with rust. I do every time I clean or once a month.
Porty1119 I had multiple firearms that day that where all under the same if not worse conditions as the Savage and they where all fine, not a single thing wrong with them but the Savage was horrible.
aLpha Guns and gaming I do too but It literally happened on a 30 minute car ride home. I make sure to clean my firearms the as soon as I get back from shooting and when I took the Savage out of its case it was already to late.
Love the 64 my only complaint is tear down to clean.
that was my first gun and the firing pin broke after 3 shots
Savage will send you a new one.
Yeah to late I don't really want another one after the damn firing pin breaking just don't trust it anymore
Just get it repaired and then sell it
u dont want it... i do
Wait for the police to do a gun buy-back program.
I just got one 2/18/23. $130 OTD. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanks, Sootch, for a great video as always.
How do you like it?
@@veecee917 absolutely. It is so smooth and simple to use. Accurate and lightweight
