Best Savage 64F Scopes – [Editor’s Choice]
1. Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight 1X20mm Riflescope
Trophy TRS-25 is one of the most sold scopes ever made. Bushnell gave the community something they still adore. There are many good reasons for that as well. Just because it’s affordable, doesn’t mean it’s bad or doesn’t provide any value.
Made out of high-quality aluminum, this is a lightweight and compact scope made for hunting. It supports weaver rail by default but doesn’t come with a riser. You can buy a riser from Bushnell separately.
It’s water, shock, and fogproof. On top of that, you have an illuminated red dot reticle. A very simple reticle. Glass etched reticle on a multi-coated lens helps a lot. There is no color alteration or blurred edges present on the sight.
25mm objective lens is plenty to gather all the light you may need to work with. Illuminated reticle certainly helps during low light, but it’s not nearly enough to use during the night.
How long is the battery life?
Bushnell claims it’s around 3k hours. Even if it’s not 3k, you will easily get over 2.5k at least. And it helps that you can change the battery on the fly.
Can I use magnifier with this sight?
Sure, it’s essentially a reflex sight. With generous eye relief, it gives you the ballroom to play around with NVD or magnifier.
Can I use it on an AR-15?
Yes, it supports the Picatinny/Weaver rail. You might want to invest in a riser if you are using it on an AR.
2. Simmons 3-9x32mm .22 Matte Black Riflescope
While not correlated with J.K Simmons, Simmons has been making optics for hunters for decades now. They make scopes for all budgets and shooting ranges. The one we have here is a budget scope made for hunting. By default, it comes with a pair of dovetail mounting rings.
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, Simmons did a good job making this scope rugged. You want a rugged and durable scope for hunting. If it’s a fragile unit, it won’t serve you well. Thanks to the rugged structure, this scope is fog, water, and shockproof. Something all scopes should be.
Fully multi-coated lenses perform sublimely. You won’t have much to complain about regarding the sight itself. They are crisp, vivid, bright, and color-accurate. Everything you could want in a pair of lenses. The duplex reticle on the glass looks clean as well. It’s an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand reticle.
What is the difference between a “new” and a regular model?
Nothing, just a 10$ price difference. The same scope was revised with no upgrades.
Is this good for big game hunting?
No, it’s good for small-game hunting and mid-range gun sighting. It’s not suitable to use with big guns or big-game hunting guns.
Can I change the mounting rings of this scope?
Absolutely. You can change the rings to weaver or Picatinny. Or a completely different thing if you so wish.
3. CVLIFE 3-9×40 R4 Reticle Crosshair Scope
Featuring an R4 second focal plane reticle, CVLIFE has a really good offering for the Savage 64f. Capable of handling a .22 LR like a champ, this is one riflescope to look out for.
CVLIFE used aluminum to build this scope. Aluminum is the most preferred material for making any sort of riflescopes. The rugged structure will protect this from any outside harm. The sealing of this scope is insanely good. Making it waterproof at the same time.
A fully multi-coated lens will keep the fog, rain, and dirt away from your scope. It also increases the total brightness of the scope by a lot. It also makes the scope perform better under low light. That we can appreciate highly.
Easy to use reticle and easy to adjust the windage and elevation helps a lot. A total beginner-friendly scope. Zeroing this scope requires a bit of patience but is quite easy to do as well.
Does it support dovetail rail?
By default, it doesn’t support dovetail rail. You will need a separate pair of mounting rings for that.
Is it shock-resistant?
Unfortunately, it’s not shock-resistant. Better keep your sock away from it.
Can it be mounted on a 1” rail?
Yes, the default mounting ring is for a 1” rail.
Is the reticle illuminated?
No, there is no illumination involved in this scope.

4. Bushnell Banner Dusk & Dawn 3-9X 40mm Riflescope
When a scope is named dusk and dawn, you are quite right to expect a good dusk and dawn performance. Bushnell made this scope with hunters in mind. Hunters keep tabs on their prey during the early morning and late evening. They need to have a good low-light performing scope.
The waterproof housing of this scope is constructed from aluminum. It’s not the most powerful scope by any means, but it’s durable enough to withstand the recoil of a powerful gun. In other words, it’s a shockproof scope.
Fully multi-coated lenses are water, fog, and dirt-proof. They are bright and extremely clear. One thing is for sure, they won’t hold back your performance at all. If anything, they will improve your performance by a lot.
There are plenty of adjustments available in this scope for you to tweak around. You can easily learn those within an hour or so. Pretty straightforward and beginner-friendly.
Does this scope come with sunshade?
Unfortunately, you will need to buy your sunshade separately.
Is this a fine crosshair or dark?
Bushnell doesn’t use fine crosshairs. They use dark generally. This scope also features a dark crosshair.
Can you use it in low light?
As the name suggests, you can use it anytime from dusk till dawn.

Pinty is probably a new name to most of you who are here today. Honestly, they haven’t done anything big enough to make them recognizable in the industry. This is a medium-range hunting scope mainly made for .22 LR firing rifles. Luckily, we are talking about a gun that fires .22 LR.
Pinity riflescope is made from high-quality aluminum for durability and ruggedness. This scope is also water and fogproof at the same time. As this scope is made for hunting, it is quite great to use with a powerful AR as well.
Like all the other scopes on the list here, this one has fully multi-coated lenses as well. They are some of the cleanest-looking lenses you will put your eyes on. Just like a digital camera, they are quite color-accurate as well.
Besides having a great-looking pair of lenses, this scope comes with more treats. One of the best parts about it is the illuminated reticle. An illuminated reticle scope can improve your accuracy and low-light performance by a lot. Pinty provides you with an illuminated green reticle with this scope.

Yes, you can use this scope on an air rifle. But this scope might be a bit overkill on an air rifle.
What is the effective range of this scope?
Without parallax, the effective range of this scope is 100 yards. Anything beyond that will require you to calculate bullet drop and compensate accordingly.
What kind of battery do you need to operate this scope?
CR-2032.
How To Choose The Best Scope For Savage S64 F
Choosing a scope requires a bit of prior knowledge about them. If you are going in blind and just want to have the best you can find, then keep some things in mind. They are:
Magnification
We are buying a scope to shoot from range. If the scope doesn’t provide sufficient zoom, what are we supposed to do with that? I know 1x scope is more than enough for short-range scopes. But having more magnification with the Savage S64 F can help a ton.
Build Quality
There is a trend of using cheap components on a cheap scope. The good thing is most established companies don’t do cheap tricks like that. Try to buy a scope that has a good reputation for solid build.
Lens
Lastly, the most important part of the scope. The pair of lenses you will see through. They have to be good. Don’t settle for a “good enough” lens. It won’t be good enough down the line. Always go for a good lens with a clear image.
Size
You shouldn’t buy a scope that is bigger than your scope rail. It will destroy the weight balance of the scope and make you shoot worse.
Weight
When it comes to scope, having a lighter scope can help in many ways. It helps with the weight distribution. It also helps with the aim and makes you shake less. Which results in more accurate headshots. Most importantly, it won’t increase the weight of the gun by a lot.
Summary
Well, if you have made it this far, I’m sure you know which scope you are taking. There was plenty of scope for different budgets and types of hunters. We can’t please them all and we can’t have them all. To have something, you need to lose something.
Honestly, you won’t miss out on much by choosing one scope from the list. No matter which one you choose, you will be a happy hunter with a good gun and a great scope.
I hope you found your best scope for Savage S64 F. Good luck with your hunting and have fun.
