Cil 830 .222

That is a Savage 340 sold under the CIL name.

A buddy had one. It was a practical serviceable rifle.

He shot lots of blacktail deer with it on the coastal islands here in B.C.
 
My buddy has a 340 Sav in a 222 and it is a tackdriver.Loves a load of 19.4 gr IMR 4198 and a 50 gr TNT bullet. I also have 2 of these rifles in 22 Hornet , they too are awesum rifles.

Really good overall quality. The only downfalls are the single action screw and the wonky side mount scope, but most shoot quite well.

I have one and use it quite a bit. I have all but retired it but it will never be sold.

50gr win sp over 23.4g of h-335 and a fed sr prime has caused loads of jack rabbits to have a very bad day.
 
Thanks guys.I really don't care for the side mount but when I picked up this gun it just felt right.Groundhogs,crows and 'yotes beware!I just gotta find the perfect scope now.

I have a CIL .222 and have shot 1" groups at 200 yards with a 3x9x40 tasco scope! With a better scope I think that can improve, as well as the distance get longer. try different munitions. I shot 4 or 5 different brands before I found the one for me.
