Zengela,a helpful word of advice,buy Roger C. Rule's book "The Rifleman's Rifle." It has all kinds of info for the novice and "expert" alike.
Don't know about everyone here,but would say most of us have a copy to use as a reference.
Amen to this ^^
Rule's book is not perfect, and a hardcopy version will set you back at least a couple hundred dollars, but if you are going to be a collector or enthusiast of the pre-64 model 70, it is worth every penny. It contains a wealth of information and is widely considered to be the authoritative word on the model 70 rifle.
