The Model 340B is chambered in .222 Rem and uses a detachable 4-round box magazine for a total capacity of 4+1. It operates with a right-hand bolt and a turned-down bolt handle, paired with a stamped steel trigger guard and a front lever-type magazine catch for straightforward magazine changes.
The split-bridge, open-top receiver is blued steel with a right-side ejection port. It is drilled and tapped on the left side for a side scope mount, and this rifle is outfitted with a slim vintage tube scope on an offset base with rings. Iron sights remain in place, including a ramped front blade.
The one-piece hardwood stock is plain and uncheckered, with a straight comb and semi-pistol grip. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and a black ribbed hard-plastic buttplate caps the stock. The configuration offers a traditional feel that complements the rifle’s compact .222 Rem cartridge.
The 24-inch steel barrel and receiver wear a blued finish. Markings include "PROOF TESTED .222 CALIBER." The rifle was made in the United States, reflecting the utilitarian design and materials common to the Savage 340 series.
