Very interesting Dirtfarmer! I had a chance to shoot a Remington M40 a while back up here with the Redfield on it, but was not aware they used them on the M70's as well! Cat
I’ve seen M-70’s set up like this and have seen M-40’s wearing that same scope. Not sure how long they used it, but must have been a while. Seems to have overlapped the M-70, M-40 transition.
Checked on line, seems that transition was around 1966, the .308 replacing the ‘06, probably due to NATO regs.
