It's a Savage 340 bolt gun. I looked for a couple of years to find something other than a lever - which don't turn my crank.

I did find a few Rem 788s in 30-30 but they pull eye-popping collector prices these days. Finally found this Savage at my hometown gun show and got it for $150. I added a peep sight to it and am so far pretty happy. The trigger is atrocious, though. Maybe that's good because the safety is both iffy and easy to nudge.
