My son just got a savage 64 semi. Heavy barrel and thumb hole stock. It was a special buy at bass pro for 229. Gonna put some glass on it this week and run some lead thru her. He is super excited. Btw i couldn't even find this model on the Savage website. Must've been something specific to Bass Pro. It's a sister gun to my model 93 17hmr except this is a. Auto loader.
