.270 WIN
The Savage Model 64 is probably one of the best bangs for buck out there in the shooting world. It’s light, accurate, and it costs a little over $100. I bought one in the late 90’s when I was 16. It was rode hard and put up wet and it finally crapped out on me about two years ago. I decided to get another about six months ago and it cost about the same as it did 22 years ago. You can attach a sling to the new model which is nice.
I haven’t gotten a whole lot of chances to shoot it but so far so good. I’ve been played with this one to see if I could make any improvements to the not so good trigger. The oem trigger is ok, but it’s a “$100 .22 trigger” if you know what I mean. I was able get the pull weight under 2 lbs. I didn’t do a before test because I didn’t have a way to measure it, but MCARBO says oem is 5.5 lbs.
Anywho, don’t fear the low price tag, it’ll be good to you.
The first video is using a stock trigger return spring that has a few coils removed. The second video is using a spring from an ink pen for the trigger return.
