Someone had a Savage 170 for sale here a while ago.
I wish I could find one of those local.
I've owned several Savage 170s, including a couple in 35, and all of them cycled fine. I recently gave a pair of 170s in 30-30 and a Remington 572 to brothers in Vermont as a means by which to get them off on the right foot. I zeroed all 3 rifles before I sent them off to their local dealer and the 30-30s were shooting about 1.5MOA with Federal blue box 170 grain factory ammo. The family subsistence farms, a tough thing in northern New England, and home-schools the boys, so they have plenty of time to hunt, fish, and trap.
I gave them the option of NIB Marlin XS7s in 7mm-08, Mossberg 472s in 30-30, or the Savage 170s in 30-30. They picked the Savages.
