Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage Anschütz Model 164M Sporter represents a remarkable fusion of American and German precision rifle-making, combining Savage’s innovative manufacturing techniques with Anschütz’s legendary action design. The 164M Sporter was produced primarily in the mid-20th century as a high-quality bolt-action rifle aimed at target shooters, small game hunters, and precision-oriented sportsmen. Built on the robust and smooth-cycling Anschütz 64 action—renowned for its precise lock-up, tight tolerances, and reliability—the Savage-imported variant featured a carefully regulated bolt and barrel system to ensure exceptional accuracy. Chambered in popular .22 rimfire cartridges, the 164M Sporter offered a blend of controllable recoil, consistent ballistics, and pinpoint precision, making it suitable for everything from benchrest-style target shooting to varmint hunting. The rifle was typically fitted with a select walnut stock, sporting elegant checkering, a well-shaped comb, and a matte or satin finish that reduced glare while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood. Its slim, well-balanced design contributed to comfortable handling and quick target acquisition, qualities highly valued by competitive shooters and hunters alike. From a historical and collector’s perspective, the Savage Anschütz 164M Sporter is notable for its representation of mid-century transatlantic firearms collaboration, wherein American ingenuity and German precision engineering met to produce a rifle that was both affordable and highly accurate. Savage’s role in importing and assembling these rifles in the United States helped make Anschütz actions accessible to the American sporting market, allowing shooters to experience European precision without the higher costs of full-import models. The 164M Sporter’s build quality, smooth trigger, and attention to ergonomic details have ensured that many examples remain highly sought after by collectors and shooters decades after production ceased. Today, it is appreciated not only as a functional and accurate small-caliber rifle but also as a historical artifact reflecting the period’s global exchange of firearms technology, bridging the gap between competition-grade European rifles and practical American sporting arms.
