Hello people

I have a few questions about my new toy - savage 64. How to clean it? I bought it second hand so I do not have manufacturer's booklet. How to take action apart for cleaning?

Trigger is heavy and does not creep, just jumps into shooting - any chance to fiddle with it at home? I have a few screwdrivers...

Grouping sucks, which was kinda unexpected. I have heard there are two screws that hold synthetic stock but I only found one. So, is there one or two screws to attack stock to action?


Thanx beforehand
 
Thanx to all replies. As of now I figured how to take it apart and put it together. Lightened up trigger a little bit too. This rifle is one cheap piece of kit, I can't believe I cheaped out again.
 
The Cooey/Lakefield/Savage 64 is a simple and quite reliable rifle. The only real flaw in the design is the trigger. And it's not really a flaw when you consider that the original Model 64 didn't have a safety, the heavy trigger was the safety, in practice.
They are capable of fairly decent accuracy with a very little bit of tuning.

Can you please give some more details on tuning, I would like to make this rifle shoot better. See, if I tighten stock to action a little bit more gun start shooting higher and higher as I tighten it. And if that screw isn't tight enough grouping goes heyware. Grouping actually stays heyware all the time.
Stock is made out of fairly soft plastic, that bends like kids toy maybe thats the problem?
