When I was in HS in 1964, the new post 64 model 70 came out. I immediately knew I wanted the pre-64, and to my surprise, Kleins Sporting goods in Chicago had a sale on the old models. This was pre 68 GCA so I sent them a $119.00 money order for a featherweight .243. They advised to ask for a second choice so I said featherweight .30-06. Turns out they sent a standard weight '06.
It was too heavy, I needed a ground hog rifle and traded it even for a Sako .243 with Leupold 3X9. I suspect if I had gotten my first choice I would still have it.
