Savage 340E in .222 Remington

[newsteadvic]

I had one in 30-30. They are a great simple rifle, they cop some flack for being a bit agricultural however mine was reliable. They can be difficult to scope as the side mounts only accept certain scopes with the turrets positioned just so. Luckily yours already has one.
I was able to purchase new magazines and extractor from the US with. B709, I think from numerich.

they are hard to get here guys wont sell them if you hand load you can make it realy perform well

That's some shot on the first rabbit. Almost a perfect split lengthways.

Hmmm... I need to find a warren for my .223 ballistic tips...

[wrenchman]

that would be a great white tail deer gun if you were to come here

[Title_II]

White tail? It's been done, but it's a little light (and not legal in some states). Where do you live? Do you have smaller white tail?

[Title_II]

Yeah you can't really shoot anything bigger than fox with it here, 243 is the minimum cal for small deer here.

They have smaller deer in Texas and they shoot them with .223. Here in the East we have normal sized White Tail and most people won't use .223 even where it is allowed.

[Title_II]

Not that I like to generalise or stereotype but doesn't everyone in the states shoot everything with a 30-30 from the comfort of a pair of overalls? I thought only the murderers had. 223

I understand, me either. Doesn't every Aussie carry a muzzle loader to a hunt with a two ball limit in their range bag, and have to submit to a home invader within 10 seconds of being informed of said home invasion or otherwise face a criminal charge for failure to submit?

[wrenchman]

sorry i thought it was a 3030

[Title_II]

Haha, between Bentaz, me, and Wrench this is turning into the Three Stooges

Haha, between Bentaz, me, and Wrench this is turning into the Three Stooges

With a bit of practice you can take this show on the road

[Title_II]

I'll bring the .30-30. Wrench, bring the pipe wrench, and bentaz, bring the blueprints.

And no messing around this time, got it?

[Seik]

Almost but we're not really allowed to have that second ball, unless it's secured inside a safe that's secured to a vehicle that's locked in a garage or just hidden inside a teddy bear. Lol!

Hiding a car in a teddy bear?

That's going to be conspicuous bear

[AusTac]

Bit of thread archeology mate? Haha looks awesome, was a really nice rifle to shoot, love the classic older stuff

Would you need to fit the bolt to the new locking lugs?
