[sharps1863]

Just picked this up, its not a Lever but it is a 30/30. Savage 170 Pump

[pokey]

uh.. internal lever?
cool enough, though.

[Old Savage]

Now that is a score!

[SmokeEater2]

Pretty neat. I can't remember the last time I saw one of the Savage pumps. How does it shoot?

[Jaguarundi]

One doesn't see many savage 170's anymore.Neat !

[t.r.]

I was stationed in Michigan with USAF when these first came out. Local store advertised it for $99.99 but when I arrived, his inventory of 170's were sold out! So it goes.

My uncle has a 170... and no other relatives that shoot.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

[rjohns94]

that is a rare find. well done. good luck with it.

My next-door neighbor, and hunting pard, sold his Savage 170 just last weekend to fund a .243 boltgun for coydogs/deer.

At least he didn't sell his OTHER .30-30, a Marlin Glenfield.

I took delivery on another Savage .30-30 today. It's a very pretty 340 that I bought from a gent on the Marlinowners forum. A great deal at only $250, including a Sportview 1.5 - 4.5 scope.

It's gotta be better than that abortion Remington sells!

[iceman]

Neat rifle. They also private labeled that rifle for CIL( ammunition manufacturer) up here in Canada. If I remember right a great little rifle.

[Nazgul]

Got a Savage 340 last summer at an auction. Very good shape, found a scope mount and period steel Weaver 4x for it. Need to get it assembled for a little classic shooting.

It ought to be a fun little gun; the only thing I hate about the Remington model is that retarded, finger eating, jam-o-matic magazine.

[MrMurphy]

I ran into an older bolt action .30-30 at a shop in Texas once. Definitely made me do a double-take looking at the marking on the barrel. Not sure who made it.

[Modoc ED]

Those pump guns are realy neat guns. I don't have a Savage pump gun but I do have two Remington 760 pump guns in .30-06.

The one you got appears to be in very good condition. Nice.

You talking about the pump gun or semi-automatic? Never had a problem with a pump gun. There were some problems with the semi-autos but they've fixed those problems.

[Travis Morgan]

Modoc Ed,

Both have the same magazine, and it's a total thing.

Modoc Ed,

Actually, there are differences between the pump and semi-auto magazines very slight as they are.

Too bad you've had some bad experiences with yours.

[Old Ironsights]

I've shot the Rem pump in .35 Rem and had no issues... but it wasn't my gun.

I've never owned one, I just spent the winter clearing jams in them while RSOing at the local indoor range. I think they'd be pretty awesom if they cleared up their issues and chambered them in .30-30, 7.62X54R, or some other short .30.
