Description
The ProMag PM280 gives your Savage 64 .22 LR a whole new personality. This is a full replacement stock built from injection-molded black polymer, and the headline feature is the positive locking side-folding design that shrinks the overall length for storage, transport, or tucking into a pack. Flip it back out and it snaps into place solid, ready to shoot. It's a popular swap for anyone who wants a lighter, more modern feel out of an old plinker.
What the PM280 Adds to Your Savage 64
Beyond the fold, you get an ergonomic pistol grip with an internal storage compartment that's handy for stashing small items or a spare mag. Up front, the tri-rail Picatinny forend opens the door to accessories like a light, laser, forward grip, or bipod, so you can set the rifle up the way you actually use it. A rubber recoil pad caps the buttstock, and while a .22 LR isn't exactly a shoulder-thumper, the pad adds a bit of grip and comfort. The whole package stays light, which is a big part of why folks turn a Savage 64 into a trail or camp gun with this stock.
Installing the ProMag PM280 the Right Way
This is a straightforward swap that doesn't need a gunsmith, but there's a trick to getting a clean fit. The move that saves a lot of headaches is removing the folding buttstock section first (there's an Allen screw inside the pistol grip), seating the barreled action, then reattaching the fold. When it comes to the screws, snug the buttstock screw down fully before you set the magazine screws. Follow that order and most people get a proper fit without any grinding. There are a few good walkthrough videos worth a quick watch before you start.
Built Tough and Made in the USA
The PM280 is made in the USA and backed by ProMag's lifetime warranty. The polymer construction is durable and shrugs off weather, making it a sensible pick for a knock-around .22 that lives in the truck, the range bag, or the deer camp. For small-game hunting, range days, or teaching a new shooter, it's a budget-friendly way to freshen up a classic rimfire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PM280 fit any Savage 64 model?
It's designed as a replacement stock for the Savage 64 chambered in .22 LR, and it's a common upgrade across the Savage 64 series. Some owners also report the Stevens Model 62 shares the same fitment. If your rifle is a standard Savage 64, this is the stock made for it.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the ProMag PM280?
No gunsmithing required for most installs. The key is removing the folding buttstock portion first using the Allen screw inside the pistol grip, seating the action, then reattaching. Tighten the buttstock screw fully before the magazine screws, and you'll typically get a clean fit without grinding.
What can I mount on the tri-rail forend?
The forend has three Picatinny rails, giving you plenty of room for a light, laser, forward grip, or bipod. The bottom rail is molded into the stock while the two side rails attach with screws. It's a flexible setup for building the rifle out however you like to run it.
Is the pistol grip storage useful for a spare magazine?
Yes, the internal compartment in the pistol grip is handy for small items, and many owners use it to tuck away a spare Savage 64 magazine or other bits. It keeps essentials on the gun and out of the way. Space is modest, so plan on small stuff rather than bulky gear.
