elk, 1917, and one else who cares to chime in.. I am looking at a model 70 Super Grade in .300 Win. Mag.. It has a beautiful piece of wood on it so that is the attraction.. On my 700's the magazine box is very long and I can seat the bullets out much farther than say an m 77.. I didn't check when I looked at the rifle how long that magazine is.. Too many rifles have a short magazine and a long throat, so seating the bullet out is impossible..

For you model 70 guys, how long is that magazine box in the model 70.. It is 50 miles from here and if I make the trip just to get the rifle, I would like to besure it is what I want.. I am going to trade another 70 on it.. After having one of the newer model 70's I really like them, just not sure about the magazine.. Many thanks..
