Hi Tbolt
very good idea and would even be better if one could fit a savge 340 detachable magazin on it. i own a savage 340 in 3030 and love it it works very nice ,but i wish it had mauser action like swede 96. there has been many mauser action adopted for rimmed cartridge like siamias mauser! and rimmed cartridge will work as well as rimless . jus tremember 303 british. good luck and don't give up
