hikerbum No issues.........rust pits etc. Hunted and used not abused. If you want close ups of the barrel send me a text # or email via PM and I`ll send them to you.

Wish I had the money right now this would already be on its way. I shot my first deer with a rifle just like this! Great gun.

My first deer rifle was a later Savage 340 C, which went down the road when I bought a Sako 270. I bought two for my twins when they started hunting. And just for giggles, I bought myself another. Still take it out once in a while.
They are surprisingly accurate and the magazine allows the use of spitzer bullets. I liked the 150 grain spitzers, but the 130 grain versions work nicely as well and can be sent out at a pretty good clip.
That's a good price for one in that condition.

Thanks for the comments. I`ve also loaded the spitzer 130gr and it is accurate and extends the range of the great old 30-30. Agreed on the price.It is priced to Sell.

Mine is a very good cast bullet shooter. Very tempting price.

If it was Walnut stocked, well, maybe. As an aside, if you still have it when I am in my native homeland in mid August, maybe..... Anyway, GLWS.

Very, very few were Walnut and if I recall correctly, walnuts were available pre receiver scope mount d/t.
Your pictures appear to show a blondish stock idenical to the one on my 340. Mine is not Walnut but maybe it's just the lighting confusing my accessment.
