Awhile back I picked up a well worn Pre 64 Model 70 220 Swift standard barrel, throat was gone but the rifle was complete with nice wood. Decided to have it brought back as a custom Model 70 but with the classic Model 70 looks. Turned it over to a smith that is known for building accurate long range and competition rifles. Went over what I was looking for, heavier barrel still in 220 Swift, all the worn metal redone and stock refinished. Got it back today and he absolutely nailed it, Shilen barrel, Sendero profile, pillar and glass bedded, refinished stock with checkering freshened , great trigger work,not too light, not too heavy and breaks like a glass rod, all metal cleaned and Cerakoted. Balances right at the front of the receiver. Can't wait to get this out and break in the barrel and sight it in
