Design and build: compact, predictable, and serviceable
The SAVAGE ARMS 64 FSS is a semi-auto, straight-blowback .22 LR rifle built to be approachable for shooters at any level. It pairs a matte black synthetic stock with a free-floating carbon steel barrel measuring 21 inches, giving you a stable platform for both casual plinking and deliberate practice. The rifle’s overall length is 40.5 inches and it tips the scales at about 5 lb, making it easy to carry and quick to shoulder for follow-up shots.
Materials and finish
This model combines a synthetic stock with a durable barrel and action. The product description references both a blued satin finish on the barrel and a stainless finish in the spec sheet — what matters is the corrosion resistance and repeatable performance you get from a well-made metal-to-stock interface. The detachable 10-round box magazine simplifies reloads and keeps training sessions moving.
Handling and ergonomics: built for comfort and control
The SAVAGE ARMS 64 FSS was designed with straightforward ergonomics. The synthetic stock keeps weight down and resists weather, while the slim fore-end and 1:16 twist rate (listed as Twist 116) are well suited to stabilizing a wide range of .22 LR projectiles used for both target practice and small-game applications.
Controls and sights
Open sights come standard, offering a fast, intuitive sight picture for close- to mid-range shooting. For shooters who prefer optics, the 64 FSS is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so adding a compact riflescope or low-power variable is a simple upgrade. Because there’s a true left-handed version available, left-side shooters get a rifle that fits naturally without awkward compromises.

Accuracy and the .22 LR platform
Caliber .22 LR remains the go-to choice for cost-effective marksmanship training, small-game hunting, and recreational shooting. It produces minimal recoil, letting shooters maintain sight picture through follow-ups and focus on fundamentals: trigger control, sight alignment, and breathing. The free-floating carbon steel barrel on the 64 FSS helps reduce interference from the stock and can improve inherent accuracy compared to barrels that make full contact with the fore-end.
Practical accuracy expectations
Expect good rimfire accuracy at standard ranges (25–50 yards) from a properly zeroed rifle and quality ammunition. The 21-inch barrel length provides adequate velocity for the .22 LR cartridges you’d typically use for target work and small-game fieldwork, and the 1:16 twist stabilizes common bullet weights effectively.
Optics, mounting, and upgrade paths
One of the most practical features of the SAVAGE ARMS 64 FSS is that it’s available drilled and tapped for scope mounts. That fact changes the rifle’s utility immediately: with a compact optic you convert the 64 into a precision training tool that mirrors sight picture and holdover techniques you use on larger centerfire platforms.
Mount a low-power variable or compact scope to practice long-range holdovers and wind calls with less cost than centerfire ammo, then shift those skills directly into your defensive or hunting platforms. Modest upgrades—like a better cheek riser for optic alignment or a threaded barrel if you prefer a muzzle-threaded device—are all possibilities depending on how you want to use the rifle.
Use cases: training, fun, and fieldwork
The .22 LR is versatile. For tactical-minded shooters, the SAVAGE ARMS 64 FSS makes an ideal trainer: its semi-auto action, magazine capacity, and ergonomics allow you to rehearse transitions, reloads, and cadence without the expense of full-power ammunition. For families and youth shooters, the lightweight, low-recoil platform builds confidence and safe handling habits.
Left-handed shooters
Lefties are often forced to adapt to right-dominant designs; having a true left-handed model means left-handed shooters on this rifle get a native-feel bolt and control layout, improving safety and speed of acquisition.
