The Savage 64 Takedown is a left-handed semi-automatic rimfire chambered in .22 LR. The barrel nut takedown mechanism lets you split the rifle in two for transport and storage, then reassemble without losing zero. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. At 4.50 lbs. and 36.25 inches overall, it's easy to carry whether you're hiking in or just heading to the range.

  The left-hand configuration gives southpaw shooters proper ejection and controls orientation, which the standard 64 doesn't offer. The 10-round detachable magazine reloads quickly.

Left-handed owners of the Savage 64 Takedown are generally glad the model exists, and most find it delivers what it promises at the price.

The takedown feature earns consistent praise — it's simple and works as advertised, making the rifle easy to pack for trips. Left-handed shooters appreciate having dedicated ergonomics rather than a mirrored afterthought. The .22 LR chambering keeps ammo costs low, and accuracy at typical rimfire distances is solid right out of the box.

On the criticism side, feeding reliability comes up for some users, particularly with budget bulk ammunition. The synthetic stock feels adequate but not impressive — a few owners compare it unfavorably to higher-priced alternatives. Some experienced shooters note that the feature set is basic and that upgrades or modifications may be needed to push performance further.

Overall it's well-regarded as a practical, left-hand-friendly .22 that handles transport well, with the main caveats being ammunition sensitivity and a no-frills stock.
