Savage Model 64
A basic semi-auto .22; current and common, but below the higher-risk furniture and lineage signals.
Is the Savage Model 64 banned in Canada? Not currently. The Savage Model 64 is Non-restricted, but it scores 2/15 on the Holdover Ban-Risk Index. It is not currently eligible for compensation. The current amnesty for prohibited firearms expires 90 days after the latest Supreme Court appeal termination under SOR/2026-114.
Classification: Non-restricted · OIC/SOR: FRT · Ban-Risk: Low · Compensation: Not currently eligible · Amnesty: SCC appeals + 90 days
Verdict
The Model 64 belongs in the expanded index because the goal is not only to name obvious trouble candidates. It is a current, inexpensive semi-auto rimfire rifle that many Canadian owners actually encounter. The score stays Low because there is no centre-fire chambering, no tactical trainer presentation, and no prohibited-family lineage. It becomes relevant mainly if policy ever broadens from named assault-style models to semi-auto rimfires as a category.
