Savage 65M 22LR Magnum

[Bmr23]

I have a 22LR Magnum made by Savage, it is a model 65M I believe. I always used it for groundhogs and other varmints and it has been a great gun. Problem is I haven't used it in several years and when i took it to the range a few days ago, the magazine doesn't seem to fit right and it often won't chamber the round correctly. I looked on-line for a new magazine at Midway USA but they are back ordered. Also, this mag only holds 5 rounds, I did see a larger one but I can't tell if it is for the longer LR Magnums or just the regular LR's. Any suggestions?

Welcome to INGO...

I have not seen any .22 rimfire that would chamber .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle, AND also .22 Magnum??

Check the barrel for caliber description: It should say EITHER S,L,and LR--.22 LR. only--OR .22 Magnum??

Report back with proper description, and someone here may be able to help you.

If not, and you don't mind the extra work, get to the Indy 1500 Gun Show next week, at the State Fair Grounds, and you probably can find a new/used mag.?? Bill.

Sorry, I re-read my post and see how confusing it was. This gun will only chamber 22LR Magnums. The magazines I was looking at on line say they fit several models including a 65 but I guess that doesn't mean a 65M? The barrel says 22 WIN. MAGNUM R. F. ONLY

I found some for you...

Quick check at gunbroker.com

They, at this time, have two listings for your 65M=.22 Magnum Rifle.

Can be had for $35-40.00 with shipping....Bill.

What are the dates of the Indy gun Show?

No Problem...

FWIW: I would use the first listing on GB.
That CO. is known for GREAT service, and would be your best source for a to your door delivery of your Magazines--Heck order several!! HA HA...Bill.

Actually, I just looked and the Gun & Knife show is coming here to FW this weekend. I think I will go take a look around. Thanks!

Thanks though for looking (and finding). If i don't find one at the gin show I will order from Gunbroker.com

Your choice, but if all you need (Gun related) is a mag. for your rifle, the entry/parking to the Indy 1500 show, will cost you $15.00???

If you like gun shows, it is worth it, but that $15.00 would pay your shipping from NY., on your Mags.

Just a thought...Bill.
