The Savage 64 is one of the most straightforward semi-automatic rimfires on the market and has been quietly introducing shooters to .22 LR for decades. It is a simple blowback action feeding from a detachable box magazine, with a blued 21-inch barrel and a synthetic stock — the sort of rifle that lives in a truck or a barn, gets used constantly, and asks very little in return.

For plinking, small game and teaching new shooters, an inexpensive semi-auto .22 is hard to beat: ammunition is available everywhere, recoil is nonexistent, and the trigger time is what actually builds skill. Iron sights come standard and the receiver is grooved for a rimfire scope.
