Savage 340 scope mounts

Post by orerancher »

Anyone used or seen a 'Sun Optics' mount for a 340?

Cheaper then B Square or Weaver..

Kinda worried about "Ya get what Ya paid for"....

Thanks

The 340 in 222 I had had a Weaver side mount on it , held 3/4" with 4 brands of 50 gr SP and 62 gr cast at jacketed speeds .
The 325 had a Whiting peep sight on it in 30-30 so no help there .
Just a Red neck,White boy, Blue blood American.....

I've owned three 340s, one had a Sun Optic and it was fine. I actually have a Sun Optic mount (new) or a Weaver (used) that you are welcome to. My 340 30-30 Win is committed to a scout mount on the barrel. Actually decided to hunt deer with this rifle this year. Love my 340.

Actually going to do a Savage working man's rifle hunting season. Use my 340 and both of my 170s (30-30 Win & 35 Rem) on three deer this year.

Put the Weaver SM on my 340 222 Rem. Works fairly well. There is a guy that has plans to put an 'over the bore' mount on the 340. If interested, pm me and I will find the link to the plans.

Dad's inherited 340 in .222 has a side mount but I'm not sure the maker and it's old enough to likely not matter.

Thanks for the link....I am still kinda looking for an original style barrel nut wrench to fix the headspace on the old (1960-ish) 340. It's likely been off since new.
