The Model 164 Sporter is a co-branded Savage–Anschutz rimfire built in West Germany during the 1970s and marked accordingly. It carries West German proof marks, "Made in West Germany," "Anschutz, Ulm West Germany," and "Savage, Westfield, Mass. U.S.A." on the receiver, with Ulm proof and an adjacent '77' stamp.
It is built on the Anschütz 64 smallbore action, known for smooth operation in a compact form. The right-hand bolt uses a straight handle with a round knob, and the safety lever sits at the right rear of the receiver. Feeding is via a detachable box magazine with a front-of-well magazine catch.
The 22-inch sporter-weight, round steel barrel wears classic open sights: a hooded ramp front sight and an adjustable open rear sight. The blued steel receiver includes 11 mm dovetail scope grooves with anti-glare checkering to aid sight alignment and reduce glare.
The Monte Carlo stock is configured for right-handed shooting, with a left-side cheekpiece for consistent cheek weld. It is checkered for grip, fitted with a white-line spacer and ribbed buttplate, and includes sling swivels. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a comfortable fit for many shooters.
Overall, this is a clean, well-appointed 1970s rimfire sporter with clear West German markings, practical iron sights, and thoughtful stock geometry, ready for range or field use with its included 5-round magazine and installed leather sling.
