The Savage 64F is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 LR, weighing in at just 5 lbs with a 21-inch barrel and an overall length of 40.5 inches. The OD Green synthetic stock handles weather well and gives a secure grip. The manual thumb safety and open grooved sights are straightforward, and the 1:16" barrel twist is typical for .22 LR.

Detailed Features 

At 5 lbs the 64F is comfortable to carry for long stretches. The synthetic OD Green stock shrugs off weather without special care. Semi-automatic cycling means fast follow-up shots without manually working an action, which matters when timing is tight. The grooved receiver also accepts tip-off scope mounts if open sights aren't your preference. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

The .22 LR caliber keeps meat damage minimal on small game like rabbits and squirrels. It's also a practical choice for new or younger shooters getting comfortable with semi-automatic operation, since recoil is light and ammo costs are low. At the range the 64F holds its own for casual plinking and basic marksmanship drills.

The Savage 64F in OD Green draws a consistent crowd among those looking for a lightweight .22 LR for plinking or small game. The 5-lb weight is the most-mentioned positive: shooters who carry it for hours in the field appreciate it, and younger or recoil-sensitive users find it easy to manage.

Accuracy gets solid marks at typical .22 LR distances, and most owners report it handles target practice and small game hunting reliably. The price is a regular talking point; many consider it good value for a first semi-auto rifle.

On the downside, some users report occasional jams or misfeeds with certain ammo brands. The consensus is that running quality bulk or high-velocity loads reduces feeding issues. The OD Green finish is polarizing: some like the field look, others would prefer blued steel or a traditional black finish. Overall the sentiment is positive, with the main caveat being attention to ammo selection.

I genuinely like the rifle and have been happy with it. My only regret is choosing the green-stock version after overlooking that detail, since the black stock was the appearance I actually wanted.
