Best friend moved to Oregon a few years back calls me from a yard sale "theirs a pre 64 m70 270 win with 2x7 leo.scope there sling & gun case for 275.00 do I want it as he doesn't need it and the stock has been cut short and a recoil pad installed."

Shure why not scopes worth that. Few weeks later brings it to me (he wants the sling for his efforts). Metals perfect stock shorten and refinished so I added a hard wood spacer and a new 1 in. thick recoil and it shoot most loads under an inch. Four years later it's still one of my favorite rifles . Sure glad my buddy's a Remington kind of guy.
