It was to be a 7x57 in Featherweight trim when it grows up, but for now it's just a Paperweight. Kaiser Norton Last edited by Kaiser Norton; 08/13/09.

shrapnel Campfire Ranger Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 24,472 Bozeman, MT	I agree with your choice in calibers, as I have 3 of these rifles now in 30-06, 270 and 257 Roberts. The picture is of the 30-06 and 270. The 270 was made in 1949, the 30-06 in 1950. The 257 Roberts which I'll have to get a picture later, was made in 1953. They are all low comb original guns with lots of condition. I have them to shoot game and collect as well. I am working on a mint 22 hornet that I will end up getting sometime in the future. I have found that collecting these rifles is cheaper than the Winchesters I have been collecting...

I am negotiating with a friend to re-acquire a very nice 1953 mfg .308 WIN FW (hope I can pull that off - another rifle I should have never traded away). The .270 WCF. This was the first rifle I ever re-barreled. I had a great time and I learned an awful lot from both the machinist and the gunsmith that I hired to walk me through the process. This is my best shooting big game rifle. This standard .30-06 SPRG, made in 1961, is the first pre-64 I ever purchased (15 years ago), wish it had been my father's, uncle's or grandfather's rifle, but it will have to build a family legacy as I pass it down.

GeoW Campfire Ranger Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 17,239 The Land of Cotton	Quick question. What type rear sight is correct for a 1951 Standard Model 70, in 270 Win? I've heard both the flip down type as well as the ladder elevated type. Anyone got an extra?
