How accurate are cheap 22s? (ft. Savage model 64)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- What kind of accuracy can you expect from a 99 dollar 22? Well it depends on a LOT of factors. Today I am using a Savage model 64 and Remington Target .22lr ammo.

Thanks for the shout out Buffalo, I had two people so far say that you sent them. That Savage is a good inexpensive little plinker, I actually bought it for my daughter when she was ten years old. Mine has a Simmons magnum 22 scope on it and I think I paid $22 for it back when I bought the rifle
I'm running a 28$ Barska (3-9X32) Duplex Reticle and couldn't be happier with it for what I do which is usually 150 yards or less. If I move any further I'm gonna have to get something with mil dots.
@@joshuagibson2520 I have one of those Baska scopes on another 22 rifle and like you said, I couldn't be happier with it
Glad you mentioned the importance of lot numbers. Many people don't understand that.
Dog gets to spend its golden days in a good place.
@Nathan…people like Buffalo are great people…Gerty was so blessed to find such a quality person 👍👍👍…God continue to further bless them 🙏🙏🙏
🙏 Good person 🙏😊
You can always tell the character of a man by how he treats animals, this right here is a good man
🙌
I really enjoy your modesty and calm manner of speaking. I found this video to be quite refreshing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Buffalo speaks words to live by: I figure as long as they are picking on me, they are leaving someone else alone for a minute.
Bless you and the family for taking the dog in, and making her remaining time comfortable 🇺🇸🐾
Thank you Buffalo for helping that dog and thanks for showing us that rifle!
Looking at the zoomed in shots, I was thinking that the Savage was throwing them everywhere, then you went and got the target. I didn't realize the targets were the size of a quarter! That's some good shooting🙏☺
I thought the same thing until he stuck his finger up there to point them out!
I've got an elderly dog with a large growth in her lungs. Been giving her CBD for dogs, and it's at least made her feel better. She sleeps longer and has more energy than before the CBD.
A friend has a little dog the vet said wouldn't live no more than 90 days. Its now close to 2 years later and doing fine cause she gives it cbd oil . Not sure what brand
@@larryalexander4833 That's great. I've been using CBDMD, they have dog treats and tinctures.
I will have to look into that. I'd like to make her as comfortable as possible. She has real good days and then she has days where I can just tell she's hurting.
@@buffalosoutdoors AT CBDMD's website, the smallest dose, in treat form, is 150mg. The package says up to 25lb dogs. The hard treats are pretty hard, my 15 year old Pit Bull can crunch them pretty well. They have soft treats as well.

I give our Fur Baby Doris CBD oil daily for her hip problem. Made a big difference. Now she wants to play again. 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎
The difference in $1,500 dollar 22s and $100 dollar ones is not that much different. You just figure that out after you buy a $1500 dollar one. Low cost models just have stiff triggers and are harder to shoot. Low cost scopes don’t always go back to zero sometimes either; but some will. You pay a lot of money for one that has all the bells and whistles. The $100 one is sure not the one for shooing target matches at long range. But, never underestimate any in the right hands of someone that knows how to shoot. They don’t need a hair trigger or fancy scope. You know practice shooting a 22 rifle off hand with a heavy trigger pull and a 16 power scope made me a better off hand shooter. Great video do some more like this one. Like your new puppy dog too.
Thanks for the great comment. Sorry I haven't been able to get into the comments section as much lately! I always enjoy reading yours!
Went on a deer drive one time with a guy packing a bolt action mossberg 20ga shooting 2 3/4" Win slugs barrel hand cut off at 22" crowned with a chainsaw round file..brazed on rifle sights! I watched him drop a Buck at 125yrds that eased between us drivers and trotted through a field...2 weeks later he won $200 at a turkey shot with it knocking a clay pigeon off a post at 100yrds off hand ...technology can't always top talent..it helps but skill is priceless!
love the line "at least they're leaving someone else alone for a minute" great perspective
Thanks for saving"Gerdy" she's a lucky dog.
Savage 64 aka Lakefield 64 akaCooey 64. A great Canadian gun, made since 1964!
Gertie's a cutie. I can't believe that people would just abandon a dog like that.
Buffalo outdoors i just picked up on this video.We know it was made a couple of years ago.enjoyed the range time and your comments.Good shooting.The Savage model 62F or 64F are really good shooting rifle's.Very accurate.Thank you for what you did for Gurdy.You are storing up treasures in heaven.May God continue to BLESS YOU.We subscribed to your channel.
You know he’s a good guy when he takes in a stray dog that some jerk left on the side of the road. You’re too good for us
A good man need more like him in this world.
Excellent shooting, and a good explanation. Every "cheap" rimfire plinker I have is a little different, ammo preference, trigger and handling characteristics, practice is key.
Love this old Canadian work horse made in Lakefield Ontario. It's often a Canadians first rifle, as you can find them for just under $200 CAD. And just about every store that sells firearms up here sells the Savage 64. There aren't many Canadian made firearms that are in affordable price ranges for the average person. But this old Cooey design from 1964 is still relevant today due to it's price range.
I just bought one for $154 CAD.
That's a little better than my cheap model 64. As you stated for a cheap plinker it does great. Mine got me a few squirrels this fall and Margaret fried them up nicely with gravy oh yeah. Thanks for showing another budget 22 so people can see they work pretty good.🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
I don't take many shots on small game out past 25 or 30 yards anyway so it's plenty accurate and has been super reliable. They are very good rifles for the money! Wait....did you just say squirrel and gravy! You're talking my kinda eatin right there! Thanks Scott!
Thanks for posting and thanks for putting your positive energy into a subject where people can sit back and take anonymous "pot shots" at you, Sorry about that, but your heart is clearly in the right spot.
I just discovered your videos today, and I really like what I've seen so far. I really like how you show your "real world" groups!
And I really liked how you included the chronograph when you were testing ammunition through the CZ.
Keep up the good work!
What a good ol calm down to earth country man I watch a ton of shooting videos and this man is legitimate no bs keep up the flawless work
I'm a big fan of savage since buying my Savage 93 17HMR and discovering that I can drive tacks at 50 yards and when I started getting the urge to buy a new 22LR I was think about the model 64. I'm so glad you did this quick accuracy test to help me make a decision. I see nothing wrong with the groups you shot, nice job sir!
Savage 93 hnr great late season squirrel rifle savage 64 is a great fall squirel rifle where I'm at 50 yards is before the leaves are gone, then I break out the HMR
Both are great for the price, and the savage outshoots the 10/22 for half the price
This is going to be really good, I feel like you did a good job with that little light gun with the hard trigger pull, yeah it seems like I almost always pull the last shot
Thanks man! I appreciate ya!
I’ve been looking into this gun for a couple months but I never knew how good it was because of the price.
It's also has the simplest yet toughest internal components and very easy to dismantle. No loose springs. It's extremely well engineered.
I didn't know there were that many expert welders out there either 😀. Thanks for the video and showing us Gertie!!
That is as genuine of a man you could hope to meet, "as long as they're picking on me, they're leaving somebody else alone" What a good dude love it.
You just earned a new subscriber.
Probably the best firearm-related video I've ever seen on here, and it's the only one I've seen from you. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
Thanks for review. I agree that you show all the groups, instead of just picking out the good ones and hiding the bad ones, so to give a complete idea of the accuracy.
That old dog is a good hint as to the character of this man and his videos are top notch too.
Thanks, Buffalo. Very good video on a very good topic. I would imagine there are a lot more people with Savage Model 64 type rifles than CZ 457 MTR rifles, and a lot more people using bulk ammo than Eley Tenex.
Good advice on trying different ammo! .22s are notoriously picky about ammo.
Great video! I found throughout the last 10 years that most .22s will shoot around 1/2inch at 50 but only with ammo it likes.
I have a bergera BMR that I’m still trying to find that ammo and it’s constantly around .7- 1inch at 50 .
So this is a very realistic video
Buffalo you are the only gun channel my wife will watch, normally she leaves the room when gun stuff comes on! I have a 64 I bought this spring on sale and I found if you practice with it. It makes a great squirrel gun and plinker. The trigger takes some getting used to. Keep up the great content!
I just picked up one today. Thanks for great video Buffalo!
I want to see a collab video between you and Paul Harrell so much!
They both have the same attitude. Down to earth, willing to learn. They are my favorites.
Thank you for the honest review, those weren't bad groups, I just ordered this rifle to start to teach my son, because of this video..
You have to respect an honest person. This world needs a whole lot more of them. That is my take on watching this video. Thank you for your honesty.
I have a Marlin 795, I bought for a little over 100 a couple of yrs ago ( I think they're running about 180 now) but it was amazingly accurate once I took the cheap scope that came with it off. Been thinking about picking up a Savage I saw the other day for my wife so thanks for the vid.
Hey man, I am a welder and love shooting also. I think your vids are great, keep up the good work. I like how truthful you are about shooting. Well done.
I really appreciate your downhome real world honest reviews. I guess I never thought of a .22 as a "target" round, unless you bought an expensive rifle set up for target shooting. A .22 is a varmint gun, you throw it up quick to the shoulder for fast moving squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and such at relatively short range. My old Browning SA is almost as old as I am and it is still a fantastic rifle. My J.C. Higgins 31 is older than I am and it is still very accurate. If a .22 rifle is accurate enough to hit rabbit size game at 50 yards it is accurate enough for hunting.
Thank you for your warm heart.
I’m seeing this late but I enjoy your content. Truly like listening to you talk. You seem like a guy anyone would like to spend the day out goin for squirrels or rabbits with.
Another great real world video Buffalo!...I like your straight talk no BS approach to shooting. And good on you for taking care of Gertie!!!
I know this is a old video but I’m subscribing just because, a few of the things you’ve said show that you’re a genuinely good person.
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
You are a real straight shooter, and I’m not talking about firearms only. Good videos.
I have not a clue as to who would want to argue about your shooting or how you shoot. They have not watched very many of your videos. Your skill with most firearms amazes me. I am sure other viewers feel the same. Good for you for taking care of the dog.
Never gets boring just watching someone shoot on RUclips lol
The man is one in a million, however, we are legions, down to earth and love in our hearts. Y’all ready yourselves, ya hear ??
I like your style!
Hello from a Canadian!
I’m about to go to the range to shoot my own Savage 64 for the first time, also 50 yd targets. Excited!
great video! im picking up a savage 64 for my first .22. i hope Gerdy lived a long life with you! i can tell your a great person since you saved that pup
I would love to see you do a cheap rifle with the really good target ammo and see the outcome. Great video Buffalo.
Buffalo - A really great vid of shooting an out of the box 'cheap' rifle. Really honest and a good review of this rifle. I have one that's one of my fav rifles. This next paragraph is copied out of my reply to a Q Wayy below from a couple weeks ago, I just wanted to put the info 'up front' since these rifles are under-rated when compared to much more expensive rifles.
" You can get a light sear spring from MCarbo for about $15 and replace the t-return spring with about 1/3 of a clik-pen spring stretched to fit. Then polish the sear w/o changing the angle at the point, then polish everything that 'rubs' in the action. I've got mine down to about 2#. BTW, that Rem ammo isn't 'really' target ammo. Try some SK+ or even Fed Champion 40g SV and then you can shoot around 3/4" regularly.
And Terry - the Marlin shot better than the 10/22 'cause it's a better rifle. The Ruger isn't that good. Marlin 60 or 795 etc are wayyy better and more accurate -and cost LESS ! "
Gerdy!! Good folks adopting that old dog. She looks happy.
Do not know if you attended college or got a degree. Do not know if you ever meant to be a scientist. But your videos are science and are among the best on the internet. Thank you!
I got mine at six years old in 1996 haven’t shot it much in the last decade but it has had thousands of rounds through it and is still a tac driver
Thank you for taking Gertie in, awesome
I have a very old Winchester Model 60 that I love. Many think I'm dumb for staying with a single-shot, but they don't know the rifle. My only disappointment with shooting it is the fact that I'm no longer able to hold it steady enough to utilize its inherent accuracy. It shoots well with practically all ammo.
I just bought this same type of rifle from fleet farm the other day just w/o the scope. coming from an 18 year old who use to shoot a red rider BB gun for hours of fun up north. this rifle will get familiar real quick!
Thank you sir for the review. I have a 7.62x39, 9mm, and 6.5 creedmore. I really do enjoy shooting but i don't want to smash through all my ammo because im definitely not wealthy so its hard to shoot like i would like to. Honestly just found out my wife's dad has a very old rossi youth .22 /20 gauge and lets just just say i haven't shot a .22 in 12years and I seriously forgot how fun it actually is to shoot yhe little .22. i found this channel just looking up some budget bolt or semi .22. i prefer a bolt because if i have a semi then i really think i will do just like my Zastava M70 and spend $100 in a day because i love trying to shoot as fast as possible but while staying actually accurate just to practice that. I never thought i would actually be this excited to find myself a .22 because I really haven't shot one in so long and completely forgot how fun that little cartridge is just to challenge yourself with or just enjoying yourself with a buddy as competition seeing who has the better accuracy without the expensive price of larger caliber ammunitio.
hey, i know this is an old video but just want to say its awesome for you to take in that dog, god bless you!!!
In the video you can see the wind blowing the trees . Wind does affect the velocity of the bullet , especially a little .22 round .
The wind was blowing left also .
I have been shooting the Model 64 for years, well before Savage bought the factory and have owned a few of them. I only currently own a Cooey Winchester 64B but every Savage 64F that I have owned works just fine once you tear them completely apart and clean all the metal shavings out of the reciever and recoil spring. Oh, the packing oil has to go as well.
You don't want that cooked into your bolt!!
not bad groups for $100 rifle. I remember people saying the Mossberg 702 plinkster out of the box is a pretty good rifle. I have gotten good results out of the older Marlin 60's with the microgroove barrels. Sometimes you can get those from $100 and up used, but usually need cleaning and tuning.
It’s F#%^n awesome when you zoom the targets in with the editing..
I'd love to see you do an ammo comparison video. My go-to all purpose ammo is CCI Mini Mag 36gr HP. Obviously not match grade ammo, but a good reliable accurate everyday ammo.
Back to the early days, I remember cheap .22 ammo also inexpensive rifles. With boxes of bulk ammo I would test my new acquisition. Bang bang !
The good ol days!
@@buffalosoutdoors on the good old days.i work in a store that the credit card machine hasn't been reading the chip cards.i have to tell people to swipe it.i tell them like the good old days when someone is wearing a mask they are going rob you and the only communists you worried out were the Russians not a guy running for president.
Love to see YOUR Marlin 60 vs 10/22 vs cz vs savage video ... Your more honest and a better shooter than most!!!
Good lil doggie! We got a pitbull that way, he lost his fight I guess, he was all bit-up and was missing an eye. He was a good dog, never was mean to anyone. We called him Limbaugh, because he could only see to the right. ;)
I once had a 22lr that shot well, the next group I tried was 10 times the size as the good one. :(
My neighbor's 22lr shot good. :/
Dogs are special animals to me. No matter how bad of a day I've had they always lift my spirits with those tails a waggin...... .22s are weird like that.
I have a savage 64 .22 loved it spot on 100 yards with some good cci every time.
I picked up a vintage Savage 187S for about $100.
Cleaned it up, stuck a scope on it and shot some very decent groups.
The vintage versions have heavier wood stocks and decent triggers which helps.
Old guns can be good buys and look better too.
Good shooting. You can see the trees and shadow on the bench blowing so it's kinda windy. Savage makes pretty accurate inexpensive rifles. You took in a stray, sick dog. Tells me a lot about your character. Thanks for the videos and God Bless.
Good Video! I know this is a bit old video, but I am not on RUclips all day every day; just happen to come across this one. I have all sorts of 22's for all sorts of reasons. This model of Savage that you have is a keeper. It would do very well as a trainer and plinker. Imagine at 20 yards and closer that it would be great for teaching newbies how to shoot. Its accurate enough to hit pop cans, clay pigeons, and even eggs at 20 paces. New shooters love to hit "reactive" targets.
I always enjoy the "how will this cheap gun shoot" videos. Many times they surprise us and shoot really well. Of course in the real world, sometimes they aren't worth the few dollars we paid for them, lol. This was another great video Buffalo. You know what to edit and keep and speed up, etc.. Great job and nice shooting!! God bless brother.
Props on taking good care of the dog!! Very nice.
Yeeeup. Especially savage arms 22lr. Great little and light gun. I actually have a few of that model.but I also love tube feds.
I call that "not bad at all". $100 at 50yds I'll take it, Play around with the ammo and see what comes up. Good starter rifles for the kids, great info buff pleas keep em coming. That new recuit of yours "cute little thing" is a blessing, she needed help in these troubled times and y'all took her in. I'm sure she's bringing smiles to everyone, stay safe out there my man. Looking forward to the next vid.
That is excellent real world accuracy/shooting.
That lil part bout welders got you a fan for life you NAILED IT!! 👍👍
Absolutely, maybe we can get him to do a Hobart vs Miller vs Lincoln..whatch think
Man i love shooting 22 lr. Cheap no blast loads of fun. Stay safe
$99 rifle, $36 scope, that's some danged impressive shooting. That thing likely has a 6 or 7 pound trigger! BTW, that's nice that you're making Gertie's last days her best.
Awesome video, I stumbled upon this as I just bought a Savage model 64 to take Grouse in the early season when the leaves are still on the trees, and makes shot gunning them really hard at a distance when they are sunning themselves on a trail from far away. Using CGI stingers for my first pass through, but to be honest not much ammo options right now in 2021 and the prices seemed to have increased for those options.
Edit: I like this riffle a lot better then the Mossberg 702 plinkster that I was using before in terms of build quality and overall accuracy.
I bought the same rifle for $125 a couple years ago. Its actually pretty well made for the money. Ive taken mine apart and the bolt is really solid and the receiver is actually steal not pot metal. Even the Ruger 10/22 has a cast receiver. Mine does not like the soft lead ammo with a full magazine. If I fill it to 9 it is fine but if I put 10 the first round doesn't want to chamber. If I use cci mini mags or any other jacketed round it will feed fine every time.
Savage rimfire rifles are good for what they are.Excellent groups.Even with the flyer,,awesome shooting.
well you never go hungry with those groups,
thanks for the video
Those are just fine groups sir.
Nice job with a plinker rifle. Perfect Christmas gift for the first rifle.
Thanks for taking in the pooch to live life out with more comfort :-))
I bought a savage model 62 for $99. absolutely love it. can't beat it. trying to find a decent scope for it. nothing crazy expensive. it loves shooting the CCI stingers n CCI standard ammo
As you said, you used budget Ammo on a budget gun. The last group was stellar with the exception of the one flyer. Possibly try a series of 5 groups again with prime ammo? May break out how far advances in weapons building, especially barrel making has come? Food for thought??
I have that rifle. Mine works ok with federal, and works FANTASTIC with aguila super velocity (by 22 standards of course).
Great video. I appreciate your honesty and your good nature, enough so that it got me to subscribe. I look forward to more honest reviews.
That Barska scope is great. I have one I got for 28$ at Wally world. 3-9X32 duplex reticle. I don't think it's the same plinker model buffalo has though. You CAN get good scopes for under 200. It's hard to get anything with repeatable turrets though for if you're doing ELR distances. Cyclops Joe is my number one source for scope advice. From 39$ to 3900$. No bullshit reviews.
I bought 1 of these for my son to shoot, it ended up being more accurate than my 10/22. Great rifle for 100 bucks, it really liked the CCI mini mags for us.
I just picked one up for my son for Christmas. We haven't gotten it out to the range yet and it isn't like I'm terribly concerned about it being "super accurate" but it is nice to know that he won't be fighting a crappy gun while learning the fundamentals of marksmenship.
Get the Mcarbo trigger spring kit for this 64, a huge improvement.. from 6lb trigger to a 3.5lb trigger = huge accuracy improvement
Ya know
Thanks Buffalo
Away from your awesome shooting, which we know, I just wanted to say may god bless you for sheltering that beautiful senior dog, she’s so cute 🥰
Groups look fine to me.
Thank you for your time and knowledge, it is sincerely appreciated 🙏🏻🤙🏻🇨🇦.
Great video Buffalo , when they started putting adj triggers in the budget 22's it made huge improvement for shooters , ive got "lots " of 22's budget and higher end guns and one of my favorite and most accurate ones is a marlin xt 22 it;s my grouse gun on my quad took over my cooey mod 60 place , and most 22's even budget ones will usually like more than one brand of ammo some will group almost any ammo well
Thanks for the video Buffalo. Good on you for taking in an old dog in her last days. Just another reason to like you and your channel. 👍🏻
Awesome video and good shooting! Budget .22's are so much fun. Cheap to shoot and a mile of smiles.
And that's what it's all about! Thanks!
