Savage 170 "b" 35 rem.

[mike t]

Looking for a ballpark value on a savage 170b 35 rem. Bluing is in great shape, wood is decent shape.

Does it function reliably without jamming?

 

[Pat Brennan]

No idea on value but I always thought one like that would be great for jumpshooting deer in the thick stuff!

 

[mike t]

Yes. It functions as it should. A friend of mine has used it the last 3 years for deer without any issues. Does it function reliably without jamming?

Read through this earlier posting to help get a better idea on pricing and performance from the 170 B units. In today's greedy time, folks that put
a reasonable price on goodies can move 'em out quick compared to the gougers.

I did buy one a few years back, for resale. While I owned it, a 30-30, I did some reading on the 'net about the 170. Apparently, some gunsmiths wouldn't work on them. Seems that they were a real nasty thing to reassemble properly.

Some had feeding problems in 30/30. Don't know if the 35 fed better due to being a rimless case?

The 35 rem was a reliable feeder from what I've read whereas the 30-30 was known to jam due to the case. This 35 belongs to a friend i hunt with and hasn't jammed in the last 3 years he's hunted it.
