scottb Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Does anyone have this model or instructions on how to remove the bolt?I searched the net, and looked on Savage web site for disassembly instructions and did not find anything. Also looked on RimFire Central. The Savage 65M is a bolt action, .22 Mag rifle. The bolt does not come out the back by holding the trigger and sliding out the rear of the chamber. This is not the same model as the Savage 64.So far, I have removed the stock. I will work on this a bit later this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Did you try pushing forward on the trigger? I have a bolt gun that releases going that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I am going to look at the rifle again tonight. I picked up some CLP to clean it with. Normally I use Hoppes #9 and Rem oil when cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Bandit, that link was helpful, except I do not have any punches that small. I will pick up some at Sears on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I've heard of some silly things to get the bolt out of a rifle but never had to take the trigger group off to remove a bolt. There is a Savage/Stevens shotgun that the trigger group comes out of the gun still attached to the stock, bored designers maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) From the link above, this is the picture below. The 2 pins that I have to remove were 2 small pins on the metal / grey part, just above the trigger group. The rear pin holds the safety lever and the metal part just in front of the safety. After tapping out these 2 pins, there is a one screw to remove and the bolt comes out the rear. Rifle is all cleaned up and ready for the next range trip. Thanks for the help!

speedytriple Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wow my savage is so easy to clean I seem spoiled now LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 So how does this old rifle shoot, is it very accurate? A lot of times after you clean 20 years of lead build up and dust from the 50's and 60's these old rifles will shoot pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 The rifle I fired had an old scope mounted on it. It was fun to shoot. We were using some older ammo, but still was hitting what I was aiming for at a distance of about 75 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
