OP donsm70 Campfire Outfitter D Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 8,187 Western Pennsylvania	I was in a trading mood this weekend and invited a fellow member over for some "show and tell". His offering was this Model 70, in 30 Gov't 06, that was manufactured in 1937 and appears to be very much original. It is a 7XXX S/N and the rear bridge has not been drilled and tapped. The overall condition is very good and I can not find any real problems with it. I would appreciate your comments as to originality and condition. Please take a look and comment. more pics to follow. donsm70 Life Member...Safari Club International Life Member...Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Life Member...Keystone Country Elk Alliance Life Member...National Rifle Association

Pre wars are primo. I have one in a SG. That one there looks like a gem to me. I would put a stith on it and take it out to the PA woods this year. Better yet, bring it out here for your annual hog hunt.
