I have a little Savage 64 semi auto .22LR and I love it.
As said above, they do have issues with the factory mags but at the price point, how does one complain?
Once I found ammo that mine agreed with it functions flawlessly.


Just happy to be here.

I use nothing but Savage rifles, like someone said they shoot great right out of the box. I also like the accu triggers on them I can lighten them up myself. I have a 270, 17 hornet and 223 all shoot great even with reloads.

Your original post said you lazer bore sighted it and you showed that pic as your 1" high shots. Then you moved out and shot 2 at 227.
Then you moved to 200 and shot the bullseye.

All ya have to do is read my questions to you and anyone can see you've been editing. You also deleted the post where you claimed they were different targets. That one was a stretch.

Savage 110 is a great accurate rifle.I own one in 30 06 that has accounted for lots of bears.
Another rifle I really like is the CZ.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have a savage .17 hmr, brand new it wouldn't extract a spent shell. Contacted the factory and they sent me a replacement extractor, that didn't fix the issue. Contacted them again and they told me to ship it back and they would look. I sent it back and they fixed the issue no questions, I was displeased by their lack of quality (they should have seen this issue on the test fire) but their customer service was fantastic.


It's a trappers life for me

Well, she is all worried about recoil. I've let her shoot my .308, 30-30, 30-06 and even a 7.62X39. All of them ended up with whining. grin I figure a .243 will do the job on bambi at 200 yards which probably will never happen in PA. It will be 100 or under. Also, if she want's to shoot ground hogs or yotes or something like that, a lighter bullet will work out well. For PA, for a girl, it seems like the perfect caliber. As far as looking, I've just been looking online for starters. She will have to go to a gun shop to see how it "fits" and I can get an eye on the craftsmanship. But I want some good ideas in mind first as far as model. I would really like her to get a Model 70, something that she could had down to her kids but at this point, she doesn't have that kind of loot.

All very true and you can build off of the 110 models as good or better then the 700s or model 70s


There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness

I have a few, they all shoot very well. I did go to help a buddy sight in a package deal axis he had picked up in .223 though and found myself pretty disappointed. This model did not have their accutrigger and the trigger pull was awful. It's hard to shoot anything well with a terrible trigger. The package deal scope also left quite a bit to be desired.

I don't remember what he paid for it all, or what he would have had to come up with to bump up to an accutrigger and a decent scope, but in my opinion it would have been well worth whatever it took.

Don't over look reduced loads, choice bullets, less recoil, and the force stops on target.
With carbide neck sizer dies, long case life = more practice and fun.
