Savage ~ Model 340 Series E ~ .223 Remington

The Model 340 was known as an underrated, inexpensive, no-frills bolt-action rifle that was famous for its accuracy. It's a rifle that has been used extensively over the years as an accurate and reliable varmint hunter. The Series E has some refinements, like a flatter floorplate, a revised magazine release, a larger trigger guard, and a swept-back bold handle. Its production ran for about 35 years, which is a testament to its quality and affordability. Our research found that its suggested retail price in 1954 was $48.75 Most "cheaper" rifles don't stay around for that long. This one is in good shape overall, with a bit of light pitting on the barrel, and a good solid stock. The Redfield Tracker scope pictured is included. No box or case.
