Building off the existing Model 64 platform, Savage has introduced a new variant of the light little rimfire designed for a quick breakdown. The Model 64 Takedown, chambered in .22 LR, sports a 16 1/2-inch barrel, a barrel nut designed for easy disassembly, a black-matte synthetic stock, a receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts and a 10-round detachable box magazine. The rifle is available in both right- and left-hand models, each retailing for $249, and comes with an Uncle Mike's Bug-Out Bag for storage.
Despite it being the primary rifle of the enemy for most of its existence, American shooters have nonetheless warmed to the AK platform, creating an unlikely love story.
