I was helping a friend unload and set up his booth at our Trappers and Callers Convention when this one came out of the van. I got a hold of it and didn't put it down until the rest of the guns were unloaded. He had a beautiful Win. 1894 in 38-55 and an early Win. 94 in .30 WCF. Those were out of my price range but this was not- Savage 170 Carbine .30-30 made in 1976. If it had been in 35 Remington I would have made the jump and added another rifle caliber to my reloading but I already have 3 - .30-30s. Added an old scope and a sling and I think I may take it on opening day this year. Shoots pretty nice considering the loads were developed for other rifles.
