    Savage 340? Question


    I just bought a lot of guns and one of them is a Savage 340 type 22 hornet. This rifle is missing magazine. While looking
    for magazine I found there is more than one series. There is no markings on barrel except proof tested 22 Hornet. Rear
    sight has knurled elevation wheel. Also has Weaver side mount, would info I need be under mount? I hate to remove it
    if not necessary. Screws are going to be a PIA to get out. Any help appreciated.

    Yes, on Marlin forum. I got a magazine yesterday. The gun was grungy when I got it. Was going to flip it because I only bought it in a lot
    to get what I wanted. I just withdrew it for sale. I ended up cleaning it up myself and decided to shoot it. Gun in very good shape as far
    as bore & action. I think it was polished to reblue, the gunk was some kind of grease that turned to rubber. Cleaned up no rust at all. Will
    do a cold blue on it and refinish stock.

    Drm50, that rear sight knurled elevation wheel indicates the rear sight is a "Dockendorf" sight. Was told by top notch smith that that sight in used condition is worth about $50.
