I just received a nice hand me down from an distant relative... A Savage Arms Stevens model M34, in beautiful condition. The problem is, its chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum RF (a.k.a. = .22 Winchester Special), which I had never seen or even heard of.
I know the new version of it is the .22WMR, but from what I've read its like a .357 that can take .38, a .22WMR can take .22WMF, but not the reverse
Has anybody come across this ammo?
Is it still made?
I can't seem to find out much about this gun. Is anybody familiar with this rifle?
Can I get a new barrel for it, chambered differently? or have the chambering/caliber changed?
All comments welcome!!!
Here are some pics - hope they are viewable:
