I looked at the same thing and wondered about it.. I've seen different pads on various M70s, but I think that one's not original..

However, by the picture, whoever did it did a fine job.. I wonder what the LOP is? If it's 14"+, then the stock wasn't cut for the pad.. Which is good..

That's still a darn good price for a LH M70 7mmSTW in that condition..

I think I've run across the DRGS before too and IIRC, the experience was a good one..

added: I just checked.. The auction ended.. Somebody bought that rifle already.. I knew it wouldn't last..
