Picked up 1 of the Savage 10/22s at walmart yesterday for 99 bucks.

These little rifles are pretty nice.
the actual model that my local walmart has,was a 62f.
That was different than the ones they had in Pa.(64f)
but I haven't been able to find out what the difference is.
I put a cheap simmons scope on it,and will try it out in a little while.
Also have a ruger 10/22 that came in a package deal with a weaver scope,that hasn't been shot yet.
So,we will see which one does best here in a little while.
Honestly, I expect the Savage to out shoot The ruger( savage rimfire rifles are extremely accurate),but the ruger is a nicer rifle overall.and costs more than double the little savage.

Please keep us updated? I'm interested in your compariscon. 
But I cant help but ask why you call the Savage Model 62f A Savage 10'22? The two guns don't look to have many similarities, aside from both being 22LR semi automatics.

If you get a good magazine they are normally reliable. Trigger kind of sucks. It's a lot of gun for $99.

It's a semi auto,10 shot,detachable box mag.22LR.
Other than Ruger using a rotary style Mag, which I hate,that's about the same thing.
10/22 means 10 shot 22.
I understand that Ruger uses 10/22 as their model#,but that doesn't mean they own the numbers.
If it does mean that,then Ruger can sue me.
I'll even wish them luck.

This thread is more confusing than Felicianatiger's bird thread.

The trigger probably does suck,but I won't even notice.
I have so many old guns with sucky triggers,it doesn't even bother me anymore.
It's already damn hot outside,probably going to try them out late afternoon.
I wanted to go over to the CMP range,but that aint gonna happen today.

Get a CZ 455 varmint. It’s a bolt gun but nothing else compares.

I have a CZ 452,and a Model 512 .22 Magnum, I bought a 455/.17HMR for my uncle,and shoot that 1 pretty often.They are great rifles,and are really nicely built.
I also have a Savage 93 22mag and 93hbss in .17hmr,and a Savage A=22 magnum.All of these have the accutrigger.
The CZs and Savages,are equal in terms of accuracy. Shooting any of them at 100 yards,I just get a jagged hole on the crosshairs of the target. I don't know how to compare them any closer than that,until I take them to a range with more distance.
The CZs are nicer rifles,but cost about 50% more.

Gotcha. Using that logic, the Remington model 597 is actually a Remington 10/22, the Mossberg "Plinkster" is actually a Mossberg 10/22, the Marlin model 795 is Marlin 10/22 etc. OTOH, the Savage A22 uses a 10 round rotary mag like the Ruger 10/22, Consequently, shouldn't the A22 really be the Savage10/22 instead of the Model 62f?
For what it's worth, I think a suit against you is unlikely.

10/22 is a registered trademark of Ruger. Because of this, it is used exclusively in popular culture to refer to Ruger's 10/22 model. This is why no one will know what you're talking about or think you don't know what you're talking about when you refer to Savage's already named rifle as a 10/22. I get your logic, but its also not common practice to refer to firearms by combining one of their possible mag capacities along with the caliber of said firearm.

I agree with most of what you said, I do call them all 10/22s.
The reason that I don't call the Savage A-22 a 10/22 I guess,is because I started seeing the A-17s first,and then the A-22s later. From the start,they were designed to be a magnum platform,instead of the other way around,so that separates them for me a bit.

Oh well..if it's a semi 22,and has a detachable 10 round mag,I call it a 10/22.They all function about the same. There's not really much that sets any of them apart for me,except the magazine style.

You hate Rutgers rotary mag, which works like butter, but you like Savages?

You can buy good aftermarket mags for the Savage,that work fine.
What I don't like about rotary mags,you can't tape 2 of them together....just in case you might need to do that some day.
Savage uses a Rotary mag on the A-22 also,unfortunately.

You can use the Tri adapter and one up your tape and stick 3 together.

To each his own. I have no experience with the particular rifle you are referring to, but the biggest downside, maybe the only downside to the Savages I’ve shot is the clip. (Btw I will always say clip and will never change). The Savage clips just don’t feed reliably in the bolt actions I’ve shot.

Try using a magazine instead, may help?
