New member with Model 64 FVXP

[Yoshi]

Hello from Annapolis MD!!!

Just got a Model 64FVXP. Picked over the 10/22 Target, because I am leaning towards Savage for all my rifles. Already have the Model 10 Precision Carbine (.308) and ordered the Mark II TR.

So, there doesn't seem to be too many reviews of the 64FVXP. Anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance!

I guess there aren't many folks buying these great little inexpensive rifles. I bought one about a year ago from Buds, thinking it would have the accutrigger (it didn't). I purchased it for my grandson and his friends to refine their shooting skills, without costing a fortune in ammo. It has not disappointed us at all. After about 100 rounds the trigger seems to be smooth and crisp. We installed a 3-9X40 scope on it and sighted it in at 6X. Most of the kids can keep it in the black at 50 yards and easily in scoring range at 100 yards. I bought three more extra mags for it and a boresnake, so we can let two or three of them take turns, engage in a little friendly competition. It loves the cheap coated Federal ammo from Walmart, so about 500 rds+ for less than $20.

I am looking for a custom thumbhole stock for it or even a Monte Carlo type stock like our Marlin has. I prefer the Marlin tube feed for single plinking, since you get 14 rds, but the clip style mag of the Savage is very handy for keeping up with multple shooters.

With heavy barrel, it shoots very tight groups, even with a warm barrel, doesn't kick at all and has less report than standard .22s. At a little over $200, it is a great buy on a very accurate and reliable, quality rifle. I highly recommend it for a first rifle experience.
