Went to a pawn shop I get to a few times a year and there sat the most pristine Savage 340 I have seen since they stopped making them. It's the nice version with a checkered walnut stock and the Weaver Sidemount and a K4 which were both also pristine. Priced at $299.99. It seriously looks brand new.
Had to fight hard not to whip out the plastic, but I already have a pretty good one in .30-30 and have had a bunch of unexpected expenses lately, just this afternoon needing a new starter in my youngest son's car. I may have to check back with that shop sooner than I normally would get back to it, but I doubt that one will last long. Anybody in northeast Kansas looking for one, this one is in Topeka.
