I don't mean to badmouth Savage, it's just that properly maintaining this particular rifle is a lot of work. We put A LOT of rounds through our firearms, so easy maintenance is a high priority on my list. (After an afternoon at the range, I typically have anywhere from 5-7 guns to clean.)

I can field strip my daughter's Remington auto .22 in about 1 minute. Hell, I can field-strip my Russian Mosin-Nagant down to the firing pin in less than 15 seconds.

The Savage Model 64 is an o-k rifle and you can pick one up with a scope for about $100. Just be prepared to spend some time doing a thorough cleaning every 500-1000 rounds.

well, I only have about 3 to 5 to clean, but that is just me shooting. Kinda like sex, its messy, but worth it ! ;-)

How do you like your Mosin-Nagant? A local shop has some that appear to be unused for $80, but I’d like some feedback before getting one.
