Savage Model 64G Semi-Auto Rifle VS Savage Arms Mark II G .22LR

Any particular reason? Brand loyalty? Aesthetics? Metal parts vs plastic? Is one inherently more accurate than the other?

I had a 64G and wish I still had it. Have you looked at Marlin? I have one now and it is great, just wish it was wood ,
Mk ii is a bolt, so it should be more accurate. I have one and its great. (It's not a semi...) They are a very good value. Try to find a heavy barrel version if you are planning on using it for a range toy.
The mk ii has a better trigger too. (Accu-trigger on the mkii)
The 64 is supposed to be decent, but i think there are a few other options in the same sort of price range worth looking at too. Marlin 60 comes to mind.

Both good guns. Basically it comes down to whether you want a fast shooting semi or a more accurate bolt.
Why only a semi? If it's for hunting, you should be making the first shot count, and you won't beat a bolt action accuracy without spending a whole lot of coin on a semi...
My bone stock mkii shoots barely over 1/2" at 50yds with cci standard. Won't find a semi doing that for three times what i paid.
I have a Marlin XT-17V and love it. But i thought about owning a Savage for a semi-auto for hunting and plinking.
*distance for hunting would be UNDER 40 yards and reserved for grouse and perhaps hares*
What's the most accurate semi-auto (blue/wood) that is under $300?

Well if you want a savage, and it must be a semi, you've already made your choice on gun.
I haven't used one, but from what i hear they are decent for the price. Marlins get the better reviews accuracy wise though.
Under $300 you've got very few options. Unless you go used, lots of options on the EE. Older mossbergs are quite renowned, and very reasonably priced.
