3006 savage
Would it be a good option for me to replace my savage 3006 with an IOF one. Mine is the super sporter model.

Hi Urooj,
It depends on what you are looking for. You could save a tidy bit of money by selling your .30-06 Savage and buying the IOF one.
Regards.

Re: 3006 savage
Which model do you have? Can you elaborate some more about your current gun?

I have the super sporter model with a glow bead for the foresight.

Re: 3006 savage
Can you post pics? especially of any markings in it?

Re: 3006 savage
As mentioned, pictures and condition are important for an older gun.
I was not familiar with this particular model, but a brief search shows they were made in the 30's and 40's. If the gun is in good condition, perhaps a nice new scope is all it might need for another 50 years of service.

Re: 3006 savage
Agree with you, mark. In fact, the older guns, I feel, were better built.

Re: 3006 savage
The Model 40 and 45 Savage rifles are rear-locking (no problem if you don't reload) rifles, basically scaled-up .22 RF in action design, with removable single-stack magazine. An early attempt at what is now called an "entry level" rifle, with a lousy trigger. Rather clumsy, but rugged and serviceable. Calibers were .250-300, .300 Savage, .30-06, and .30-30.

Re: 3006 savage
Yes the pic in the link shows the model of my rifle but the butt is changed and there are no scope mounts that is why I wanted to replace it. I want my rifle to have scope mounts on it.
