The Savage 64 Takedown .22LR draws consistently positive feedback for a rifle at its price point, with a few recurring criticisms worth knowing.

The takedown feature is mentioned most often as a practical advantage - it makes the rifle easy to transport in a pack or vehicle, and owners appreciate how quickly it comes apart and goes back together. The 4.5 lb weight makes it manageable for extended carry. Accuracy at reasonable distances is generally rated well for the caliber and price.

The main criticisms center on reliability with certain ammunition types. Feeding issues or occasional jams with bulk or lower-quality .22 LR get mentioned more than once. Build quality is functional but noticeably different from higher-end rifles, which some buyers find underwhelming up close. Most owners accept this as a reasonable tradeoff given the price, and it's widely recommended as a starting point for new shooters or a lightweight plinking option.
