The Turdy-Turdy

I’ve been on the lookout for quite some time for a bolt action 30-30. I finally brought one home yesterday , a Savage 840. I’m very pleased in the overall condition of the rifle.

Now I can load any bullet I want without worrying about a tubular magazine.

A buddy of my dad’s wife used a savage 340 in 30-30 my whole childhood. It was a pretty accurate rifle and accounted for many whitetails over the years. I think you will enjoy that rifle.

Beautiful rifle, congrats. I bet a 125 gr BT would be a dandy deer zapper.

Scheels has 125gr SST for $28/100 , hard to pass on that.

Back when rifles were still affordable and 30-30 was $16.00 a box and could be found at the Cenex, I couldnt talk myself into one. Sounds like a good "back door" or truck gun. Could be fun. Had a buddy with a contender in 30-30 that could out shoot my rifle at 100yds. A friend just picked up a 340 Savage in "tripple duce". Good luck, and enjoy. CL

My brother picked up one of those earlier this year also.

A friend in high school used his father's Savage Mod 340 30-30 and took a spike with it. Did a good job and we thought he was carrying a big game rifle. As stated above that 125gr bullet wt would be ideal for that rifle. Dan.
