OT - Pump Rifle - How About Some Nice Wood
I recently bought a Savage 170 Series B 30-30 pump rifle. It finally came today. I knew it had some good wood on it, but this was pleasently surprising. Yes, it is factory wood, but I don't know why or how.
Original purchase pictures are here on the Pump Rifle site.

Sorry Bruce, but I don't see no stink'in rifle, only some wood. But I will admit it is real purty wood.

That's pretty. Someday I hope to get a 170 Pump .30-30 from my Uncle, but he refuses to kick off...

Re: OT - Pump Rifle - How About Some Nice Wood
Wonderful wood! Anxious to see it on the rifle.
I had one in .35 Remington with a Weaver K4 on it, and it was remarkably accurate. One-inch three-shot groups with factory ammunition were not uncommon. Interesting rifle based on the .410 version of the Model 77 shotgun. Have read at the Savage Collectors forum that the .30-30's had feeding problems, which led to the gun's demise.. Never experienced ANY with the .35; doesn't seem to make sense that a design originally for a rimmed shell (i. e. the .410) would handle the rimless .35 Remington fine and have problems with the rimmed .30-30...
Enjoy yours. I'd like to have one in .30-30 too to go with my two Marlins, Stevens Model 325, and Savage 340. (I'll pass on a Remington 788 .30-30. Too rich for my blood!)

Nice, I think I would sand off the pressed checkering and have it done properly

Amen to that. Hard to believe they stuck a piece of wood like that in a machine and pressed on the checkering.Lawyer Daggit wrote:Nice, I think I would sand off the pressed checkering and have it done properly
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.
