The 340C pairs a 24 inch round steel barrel with a blued finish and the recognizable Savage lock-nut at the shank. The barrel is marked "PROOF TESTED CAL. 222 REM." and features a fore-end barrel band consistent with the model’s utilitarian design.
Its top-ejection, split-bridge receiver incorporates a sheet-metal gas shield and is drilled and tapped for a side-mount scope base. The two-piece bolt uses a single locking lug and a round knob with a cocking-piece cap, reflecting the straightforward, serviceable engineering of the 340 series.
Sighting is via iron sights: a ramped bead front and an open rear leaf with an adjustable elevator. The hardwood stock has an uncheckered pistol-grip profile and a black buttplate, delivering a simple, practical interface. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Feeding is from a detachable 4-round steel box magazine; overall capacity is 4+1. One 4-round magazine is included, and it is compatible with Savage 340 series rifles.
An economy-grade American bolt gun, the 340C played a role in popularizing the .222 Remington, offering dependable performance in a straightforward package made in the United States.
