i've got an old mossberg model 340k from 1965 with an old weaver scope(don't know how powerful the scope is, but since it's getting old should I get a newer production .22 over this one. and the bolt system is different form most bolt action rifles. you'd have to see it since I don't own a scanner. so watch think everyone?
