I was stationed in Michigan with USAF when these first came out. Local store advertised it for $99.99 but when I arrived, his inventory of 170's were sold out! So it goes.

My uncle has a 170... and no other relatives that shoot.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I took delivery on another Savage .30-30 today. It's a very pretty 340 that I bought from a gent on the Marlinowners forum. A great deal at only $250, including a Sportview 1.5 - 4.5 scope.
It's gotta be better than that abortion Remington sells!

Got a Savage 340 last summer at an auction. Very good shape, found a scope mount and period steel Weaver 4x for it. Need to get it assembled for a little classic shooting.
It ought to be a fun little gun; the only thing I hate about the Remington model is that retarded, finger eating, jam-o-matic magazine.

I ran into an older bolt action .30-30 at a shop in Texas once. Definitely made me do a double-take looking at the marking on the barrel. Not sure who made it.

You talking about the pump gun or semi-automatic? Never had a problem with a pump gun. There were some problems with the semi-autos but they've fixed those problems.
Both have the same magazine, and it's a total thing.

I've shot the Rem pump in .35 Rem and had no issues... but it wasn't my gun.

Actually, there are differences between the pump and semi-auto magazines very slight as they are.
Too bad you've had some bad experiences with yours.
I've never owned one, I just spent the winter clearing jams in them while RSOing at the local indoor range. I think they'd be pretty awesom if they cleared up their issues and chambered them in .30-30, 7.62X54R, or some other short .30.
