Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dumpstick" data-source="post: 3952332" data-attributes="member: 41653">I've got one of those 840 rifles in 30-30.  Bought it closet-fresh, including the 1970s 4x scope.  I haven't even fired the thing - so many guns, so little time.ETA- Mine is actually a 340, not an 840.Edit #2 _  It's a 325B savage.  Not a 340, not an 840.  I finally got it out of the safe and looked.That being said:The 30-30 was historically a 12 twist, from way back when.  Considering that the 840 (and Savage/Stevens in general) was a budget rifle, I think it would be made with generally accepted features.My bet is a 12 twist.And, it should be fine for 120-ish bullets.  Just perhaps not the bullet you tried.</blockquote>
