I have a Savage 45 Super Sporter in 250-3000. It's a sweet, accurate rifle. Note that the 250-3000 rifles back then had a slower twist designed for 87 grain or lighter bullets. The 100 grain bullets typically loaded in factory ammo may not be accurate.

I also have a model 45 Super Sporter in 30-30. it is a sweet little rifle too as are my 23C Sporter in 32-20 and my 23B Sporter in 25-20.

My model 40 Super Sporter in 30-06 is on the heavy side so it's not as handy as the others.

The Super Sporters are neat rifles that reflect the leaner years in our world. It's a piece of history.

If the rifle you are considering is reasonably priced and in good condition, I think you should buy it.
