All:

I have a chance to buy a 1950 M70 Super Grade in 270 for $900. It currently has a Echo side mount drilled into the receiver. On the mount is an old Alaskan scope. The scope is long and skinny with extremely small reticles. There is a small black dot in the middle of the X reticle. There is an aftermarket recoil pad on it. Haskins is what is on it. Any opinions? Rest of rifle is 90+%. Bore is super. Thank you ahead of time.
