My uncle has hunted the same ranch in Montana for over 30 years. The Rancher carried a pre 64 Model 70 in 30-06 in his saddle or 4 wheeler everyday. The bluing was about gone and stock dinged pretty good. Uncle admired that rifle and the Rancher told him when he hung up his spurs he'd sell it to him.
Well, last summer we got news the Rancher passed. When my uncle inquired about the rifle this fall his Son had already sold it.

I'd like to find a similar rifle for him.

Thanks

If I was the rancher's son I think I'd have wanted that gun for myself. But bummer he didn't honor his dad's deal.

I’ve got a’48 model in a 270.

Functions fine, it’s got some miles on it.

PM me if you have any interest.

Almost makes me want to take my nice one outside and scour it with wet sand. Almost.
