Those Savage 340's are great rifles. I had one in 30-30 years ago that I used to reload for. It was accurate and fun to shoot. When you reload for 30-30 and can use BTHP bullets, the 30-30 has a totally different personality. I sold it in a fit of, "I see something I can't live without" and now I'm sorry I did. I've see them on GB go for over $400.00.
In your opinion.
In my opinion they are just crappy economy grade centerfire rifles.
Bingo.
There was a very nice Revelation version on GB the other day, with a nice stock devoid of the usual crappy pressed checkering. Nice as any I've seen, but no way would I give more than $400 for that one or any other. For $400, I can get a spanking-new Henry SS with a nice walnut stock with perfect machine-cut checkering, and in a modest selection of cartridges, truly a bargain, and no apologies needed for its looks.
The beater 340s I've seen around here in gunshops usually go for less than $200, complete with a crappy scope.
Can't put a price on nostalgia, I suppose. Fortunately, those hold none for me.
