Picked up a Savage 340 in 222 Rem today at the LGS for $175(good friend owns the shop and i was there when he bought it for 100). Stock is in pretty good shape, metal is good, bore looks great. Has the scope mount with some old Bushnell scope chief scope on it. First order of business is changing scope then shoot it. Grabbed a box of Hornady 50gr Vmax ammo while i was there. If it shoots decent I will pick up necessary supplies and roll my own.
Anyone own one of these models and have any comments on them. Also any decent recipes for this caliber?
On a side note I also picked up a Savage 219 in 30-30 with a 20 gauge 220 barrel with it for $150. Locks up tight and seems functional. Wood is ok. Receiver metal is decent. Rifle barrel has good metal and bore looks good. Shotgun barrel is discolored some on exterior and bore has some minor pitting.
Pretty decent haul for just going in there for 223 ammo lol
