I believe the Standards had the ladder elevated, and fwt had the flip downs, but I could be wrong.

Odessa- Is that 270 a standard fwt stock? Very nice BTW.

Thanks Tom, It is a factory issue FW stock (the rifle was mfg in mid 1963). It has the narrow checkering, plastic butt plate, and monte carlo cheek. It has some nice grain in the butt.

1961 30-06 Featherweight in a McMillan Hunters Edge. My first Pre-64. Once you go through the action it's readily apparent why the Pre-64 M70 is prized.

Some nice rifles here...somehow, whether they are stocked in wood or glass, pre 64's just never seem to turn out "bad".

Even the old ones with dated optics look ready for business,as if they had "been there and done it" before,many times.

And if I had traveled a long way to hunt something,and my rifle was somehow out of commission,and I got handed a pre 64 M70 to use, I would trust it.I can't say that about many other rifles I have any experience with.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Awesome! I have a 1950s Super Grade in .270 too. Mine's in nearly new condition, but I'm tempted to scope and shoot it.

I have a pre-war standard grade in .30-06 that came with one of those nice old-style peep sights. Can't bear the thought of removing it to put a scope on, it works so well the way it is.

Here's one in 270 Win. Everyone should have a Pre-64 model 70 in 270 along with a Mauser 98 in 7X57 and a Springfield in 30-06. laugh

A friend had a 257 Roberts on Consignment a few months ago, if you are interested I could find out if he still has it. The price was $2000 I believe so I bought the 30-06 he had instead.

I actually happen to have all three, but the Mauser and Springfield are still in pure military form.

My 1961 FW .30-06 in a McMillan Hunting stock done by Rick Bin. I've also recently acquired a 1951 .257 Roberts that has been in AK for it's entire life and shows the wear and use, but is going to be a fun rifle for me (don't have good pictures of that one yet)

I'm enjoying all the pics. 1961 '06 Fwt. with the buck I took in the Hill Country last fall. I also have a '57 270 standard rifle and a '61 Fwt in 270 I traded for last December. plan to use the 270 Fwt for most of my deer hunting.
