Would like to see a picture when you get it put together.

I have a signed “White Feather” book about Carlos Hathcock. Cover shows him holding one of those.

Seemed to work for him.

Actually the fly leaf cover on the book shows him with the M-70 and what looks like the 3-9x40 Redfield they went to, not the Unertl.

Here are a few pictures, including a photo of a M-70 with the Unertl. That picture looks curved, taking it from the opened book, page not quite lying flat.

Book signed by Hathcock and the Chandler brothers who wrote it.
