@303hunter twisted my arm and forced me to purchase this old rifle.
It's a Revelation Model 225 (Savage 340) in 30-30 Winchester. It came with a 4X fixed Leupold scope that is crystal clear. I think I did ok ($260)??. It will make a great carry gun for my 4-wheeler. From what I've read it was mfg. in 1968 for Revelation by Savage Arms. Revelation was the store brand for Western Auto stores who faded away in the late 1980's. The barrel is 20" and after cleaning it up it looks pretty decent. All of the screws on the rifle and on the scope mounts and rings are clean without any marks. It's like it has never been taken down. I ran a patch through the barrel and it looks nice and shiny with no pitting. I put the word out to some of my friends and they have donated a few bullets and brass so I ordered some dies tonight. Loaded ammo is as scarce as hen's teeth. One outfit online was selling Remington Core-Lok (green and yellow box) 150 grain for $55.00!!!
It was cheaper to just buy a set of dies! Luckily I have plenty of powder and primers.
Had a great time today and enjoyed meeting everyone and hopefully we can do it again sometime.
