While the Sav 340 can be chambered to the 307 the magazine is a bit of a problem. Also keep the loads on the light side. The 340 has a single locking lug and I saw one converted this way which cracked the lug. I would be more incline to chamber for the 30/30 improved if it were me. Regards, Bill.

I would agree with Bill and go with the 30-30 Imp.
