Thanks Jim. Will try it out next range day.

Jim, I appreciate your offer to make a target for me. Attached a diagram as best as I could construct it. This is using 8 1/2 by 11" paper oriented vertically.
The square is to be black and the inverted truncated triangle to remain white.
If there is any dimensional error then please correct as you see fit, I hope that the conncept is clear and parts of inches one way or the other will matter little.
Thanks in advance. I'll report back how it works.

Man, that is a nice rifle. I have wanted one for years and just haven't gotten one at my price, yet.
One of these days, GB will smile on me and everyone will be asleep...and not bidding.

Chris,
OK here is your target to your specs.
The numbers are correct when printed on an 8.5 x 11 sheet. The image area is 8 x10
(If I made the outside dimensions 8.5 x 11 it would become smaller when printed because no printer can print an 8.5 x 11 image area on an 8.5 x 11 paper
because the printer need a bleed area on all sides)

Thanx for the targets. And nice rifle! I have a 340C 222 Rem in presentation wood (pics elsewhere on here) that I think was set up as a poor man's BR rifle. Liking it so far. Was d&t and pit a Leupold VX 1 on it. Now just need to get some reloads worked up and get out and shoot it!

Had a chance to recently try some bullets that some of the great guys here sent me to try.
Weather here has recently been cold I shot these 2 groups this past Saturday using a SAECO 315 plain base Bullet: Temps were 12 degrees but no wind.
The top target below has 4 shots into 3/8 inch
All Shot at 50 yards with receiver sights and globe front
The next set of targets are with the same bullets but using Unique. I obviously changed sight picture on the lowest one

I brought back this thread because I did something drastic to my Savage 340 30-30!
I'm sure the old ones at Savage that have departed are rolling in their graves!
Under the watchful eye of Ben I went and Glass bedded my 340 and totally free floated the barrel last weekend!
Some progress photos below:
OK Folks,

A few Notes on the Glass bedding project:
YES There now is only one bolt ( in Recoil Lug) holding the barrel & action in the stock.
I did not bring the bedding past the front of the Trigger assembly because Ben Knows Savage actions and they are meant to be " free floated from the trigger assembly back to the rear tang"
Yes I could have easily Bedded the bottom of the trigger assembly or even all the way around the rear tang but from what Ben said and from what I read that isn't a good thing on a Savage
I decided against making a boss on the rear of the trigger housing and replacing the rear guard screw for another bolt for that very reason.
The way the rifle is now; it feels more solid when it shoots and actually feels more like the recoil is "in line" instead of the muzzle rise I used to get with recoil!
Please also Note I'm a target shooter only so I don't shoot hot loads.... I have no need for high recoil.
I'm thinking some day of installing a scope on a custom made to receive mount ....that may tighten my groups!

Well you did fine. I especially like the tint you added to the stock, that turned out nice. Yellowish stocks are my least favorite color, except for clear-coated maple. Too red, though, like a lot of the Uberti offerings, doesn't look good to me either.
Pay attention to the torque on that action screw, 30 inch-pounds ought to be plenty, you don't want to pre-stress the action. The capability exists to put nearly a ton of bendy force on the action with a single, 1/4-20 screw.

AWESOME job Jim! That's wonderful shooting! I have that same rifle in 30-30. Mine is kind of a beater but I love it. And it was only $159
I've had more fun with that rifle the last few months than and other I think. I shoot the NOE SC311-165 (IIRC)
29gr of H4895 I believe is the load. I'd have to check.
