Yeah, I wouldn't mess with it...

Elk, here's a nice PF M-70 in 7x57. The Redfield isn't a bad scope, but I'd change out the high rings.

The PF is a sleeper, IMO.

Collectors aren't the cheapest, but they will trade. I've dealt with them in the past.

I believe I have the exact same Redfield scope on a Win 375 Super Express. No complaints.

I've found that series of M-70's to be accurate, well made rifles.

M-70 buyers want CRF, PF is the family step child, priced accordingly.

Often they are in the $600 range. This one has a scope, probably worth a hundred or less. So, it may be slightly overpriced, but Collectors will take trades. You'll probably get wholesale value, but sometimes a good way to move a gun you're not using, taking up space in the safe.

To me, this beats hanging around a gun show where you're likely to get hosed, anyway...
