Was at gunshow here in Alaska few yrs ago. I spied a pre 64 for $795 bucks I'm like damn that's cheap. I assumed it been drilled and tapped for side mounts nope. By this time I thought I found the deal of the century I saw 22 hornet stamped on it, then saw another stamp on 222 remington. I was like wtf... so went bought some gun show jerky and left.
I ran into one of those Model 70 .22 Hornet/.222 rechambers at a Cabelas a few years ago. I went from "Oh yeah!" to "aw sheet" in 5 seconds. It was prices around $600 IIRC
