Savage Arms 40210 64 Takedown .22 LR 16.5" 11-Round Left Hand Rifle

The Savage Arms 40210 64 Takedown .22 LR 16.5" 11-Round Left Hand Rifle is purpose-built for left-handed shooters seeking a reliable, compact rimfire platform for training, small-game hunting, or precision marksmanship development. This takedown design delivers exceptional portability without sacrificing accuracy, making it ideal for shooters who need a rifle that breaks down for transport yet maintains consistent zero when reassembled. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it offers low recoil and minimal noise signature—critical advantages for budget-conscious training sessions and suppressed applications where noise discipline matters.

The takedown mechanism on this Savage 64 platform allows you to separate the barrel from the receiver, reducing overall profile to approximately 27 inches when disassembled—a significant advantage for field transport, vehicle storage, or pack-in hunting scenarios. The 16.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for .22 LR ammunition while maintaining a lightweight profile at 7.2 pounds, enabling extended shooting sessions without fatigue. The 11-round rotary magazine system ensures reliable feeding and rapid reloads, while the left-hand bolt orientation and safety placement are specifically engineered for southpaw operators who demand ergonomic consistency. Savage's proven receiver geometry and trigger mechanism deliver inherent accuracy suitable for distance work and small-target engagement.

Left-handed shooters—whether military, law enforcement, or civilian precision riflemen—benefit immediately from factory-original ergonomics rather than adapting right-hand designs. This rifle excels in training environments where shooters require consistent platform familiarity, marksmanship development on budget, or transition practice before moving to larger-caliber left-hand platforms. The .22 LR platform is also valuable for introducing new shooters to proper technique in controlled settings. Standard .22 LR ammunition compatibility ensures broad availability and cost-effectiveness, while the modular takedown design allows straightforward field maintenance and storage optimization in tight quarters.
