Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
Hello guys,
There is talk that the new lot of the IOF 30-06s has some changes, namely, change of bolt face design from three lug type to a winchester 70 style extractor type. Secondly the reciever tops are coming drilled and tapped to accept Weaver style bases. Can anyone confirm this? Could any owners post pics of close ups of the action and bolt as well as the reciever tops? One example I saw at a dealer had a somewhat better stock than the earlier blond pine wood. Definitely not walnut, must have been teak or shishum.
Regards,
Katana

why not check out the rifle section for all that info, as much as any one has its been posted. so why persist in make people mad?
or if not happy why not contact the IOF direct and share the info?

Dear Nagarifle,
Please understand that this is a gentlemanly forum to exchange views. Either you moderate your languange, especially the part of making 'people mad' or refrain from making comments at all. I'm thinking of purchasing this particular rifle and therefore am asking people's opinion before actually purchasing it. As for getting information out of IOF, you know the drill. Members here would be more practical.
In angst,

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
Winnie,
I thought so. Am being offered this 'improved' version for 95K. Was wondering if I should buy it. The so-called 'imports' in .30-06 have ridiculous prices!

Even if you can afford the imports, I'd say buy the IOF - and use the left over money for ammo!
Not that we don't know that IOF is robbing us blind, but in the current scenario, there aren't too many practical alternatives... 
Cheers!

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
Guys,
Anyone have any idea if Weaver type mounts would be available for this rifle in India? I have a nice scope to go along with it.

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
Weaver bases for the Sauer 202 should fit. The screws that come with the bases may not be what the IOF receiver is tapped for. I think your question has been answered in a previous post in this thread. Cheers.

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
These are pictures of the scope base for the IOF .30-06 rifle. It is indeed true that the screws that come with the bases do not fit the 4 provided threads on the gun. The ones that I have screwed on, have been gently filed from all sides and carefully aligned into the screw bore.
The company is Warne and the mounts are for the Sauer 202 in steel.
These are the matching scope mounts which I have not fitted as I am still looking for a good scope for this rifle.
Now I have a question : Should the scope bases be also glued first before screwing them up ? Since I don't trust the quality of the material of the receiver metal, I suspect that over time, the threads might just give up and become loose, which would be a disaster... !

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
TwoRivers & Olly,
Thanks! I was aware of the non-allignment of the screw taps/ drills. The question is now how to do it. Nevertheless, I have a friend who is a brain with this kind of stuff. A 'jaano' so to speak. I'm sure he will work something out. In fact, he is currently working on a reducer adapter for my Brno Mod1. Should be ready next week.
BTW, I plan to mount a Bushnell 3-9x40E scope on this rifle.
Regards,
Katana

Re: IOF 30-06 Rifle
Olly,
I noticed the 'butter knife' handle of the bolt is black. Did you have it blued or something or did it come that way? It's definitely better than what I have seen in earlier pics and the rifle itself.
