The orange stock makes the rifle visible in field settings and stands out among the usual black and synthetic options — useful when shooting with others or keeping track of it in brush. 
 

Usage 

The 64F covers informal target shooting, small game like squirrels and rabbits, and casual range sessions. At 5 lbs with minimal recoil, it works well for new shooters and younger shooters getting started. It is a budget-accessible option in the .22 LR semi-auto category.

Users generally like the Savage 64F for what it is — an inexpensive, light .22 LR semi-auto. The orange finish gets mentioned often as a draw for first-time buyers and those wanting something that looks different from standard black rifles. The lightweight construction is consistently praised, particularly for use with younger shooters.

Performance feedback is positive at the price point: reliable semi-auto cycling and acceptable accuracy for plinking and small game. Some users note sensitivity to specific ammunition types, which is common in semi-automatic rimfires — most owners settle on a preferred load and the issues disappear.

The main criticism is build quality. The plastic components feel less substantial than higher-end rifles, and a few users express concern about long-term durability with heavy use. That said, most buyers approach this rifle as a recreational or youth gun rather than a primary precision platform, and expectations tend to be set accordingly.

Overall it is well regarded as an entry-level .22 LR that does not demand a large investment.
