Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Revalation 225 vs. savage 340

Any love for the Revalation 225 ie Savage 340? I acquired one years ago, side mount scope mount, shooter scope, darn thing really accurate for a 30-30, just sold all my other 30-30's this is the last one in the safe with a hundred plus rounds of ammo, I am past the need for 30-30 in a 99 so this one will be moved along, downsizing my calibers, figured I mention it here before I posted it elsewhere, PM's welcome.

I have a variant of the 340. I think it is a Savage Springfield 840. First rifle I used to kill a deer - 50 years ago. It’s a fine little gun. 30-30.

Dad won that rifle. He was an auto mechanic. The local parts house had a contest where the mechanic selling the most Monroe shocks would win the rifle. Dad won in a runaway. Next year, he won a Savage Springfield semi-auto 22. After he won twice, they stopped the contest.
