Savage-Stevens
I recently aquired a model 325-B Savage-Stevens bolt action 30/30. The little rifle is so old that is does not have a serial number. I would like to know during what years this rifle was made and if anyone has any shooting experiences with this gun.

I couldn't find that model number in my book. You may want to double check it, or perhaps you made a typographical error?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

I could not find it in my books either. Yes, I am sure that is the number and it looks like alot of other models I have seen. 0 -
According to the Blue Book there was,in fact, a Stevens mod. 325 (A,B,+C-but it doesn't tell the diff.) chambered in 30-30, made 1947-50. Value for a 100% gun is $375 and goes down from there. My brother has the bacically identical Savage 340 (made 1950-85, so it's probably a continuation) which we sighted in last week with a new Bushnell 1 3/4-5. He bought the gun new in 1960. From a solid rest, 150 gr. .30-30's produced a final 3 shot group (the first two were touching) of under 1 1/2 in. at 100 yds. It has a better trigger than my Rem. mountain rifle .280. Shows you what people would consider a cheap rifle is capable of. Good, accurate, sturdy gun-enjoy it. -Asa 0 -
Yes, they are the same as the Savage 340's. I have a couple of them right now and every one I have ever shot has been extremely accurate. I personally believe that, except for the trigger, this was one of the best bolt-rifles Savage ever made. The best part about having one in 30-30 is that you can utilize speer-point bullets in the box mag and are not confined to flat-point leads as in a Winchester or Marlin with a tube mag.

I have a savage model 325-C that was given to me by my grandfather some 15 or more years ago I am in need of a magazine so I just wanted to confirm that a model 340 mag will fit ??
also I could use any help / info anyone has about a small 22 single shot stamped stevens junior model 11-22-long rifle PAT. july 1907 I got the small rifle passed down to me the origonal owner was my great grandfather it is in full working condition however I cant seem to find out any info or history on it0 -
The difference between the 325 and the 340 is that the former had a plain stock made out of some blonde mystery wood. 0 -
And it has a butterknife bolt handle. The B version was with a 22 inch barrel, and the C was an 18 inch tube.

You're right. I completely forgot about the Mannlicher style bolt handle. The obvious purpose of the 325 was to lower the price, but I can't understand how that bolt helped. 0 -

My book shows a different reciever for the 325C and 340 models. 325 A B were made mfg 1947-1950. model 325S had a peep sight.i have cal.22 hornet.222 223 225 and 30-30. this is according to my gun trader guide no.13 and my old gun parts guide. tks.hedge 0 -
well so far i have had no luck finding a replacement mag however a beam of light pointed to a box in the grandparents basement labeled "junk" that contained the original mag for the 325-C sweet
the local gun dealer gave me a reference if anyone is interested in reproduction mags. The Clip Joint - Richard Pearson - Centerville PA. the ph# is 814 827 2371 not sure of what he has but the dealer said it would be a good place to look for old Stevens/ Savage mags0
