I found a Savage 340C at the local gun peddler that I've become intrigued with. It's an 18.5" carbine that comes up fast and points great. Seems to be a great lightweight carry gun. I'm thinking of grabbing it and installing a peep to make a sweet little timber rig for whitetails.

The price is $300 which seems a bit steep compared to what others pay for these things in pawnshops but while I've seen many in the 20"-22" rifles It's the first "carbine" I've seen when browsing shops/shows.

Wondering if you guys that hit gun shows often come across the "C" variant much and is this price way off base for this gun? ???
