The plain rifle is an American invention, born of necessity in the days when trappers,
explorers, soldiers, and pioneers settled the land and eventually pushed the
boundary of the country all of the way to the Pacific shore.
The plain rifle thus became a tool of survival in the 18th and 19th centuries. As such,
it had to be a tool accessible to everyone who needed it. Indeed, that is why it had
to be plain.

Among the many examples of plain rifles that have appeared over the years, there is
none plainer than the Savage Model 340.
It appeared in 1950, a couple of years after the action was introduced by a rifle
bearing the Stevens name. The .30-30 Winchester and .22 Hornet were popular
early chamberings, but later on the .222 Remington and .223 Remington were
added. A few were made in .225 Winchester. The .30-30, however, was the only
medium game chambering ever offered.
All of them disappeared in 1985 when the model was discontinued.
