Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles EDIT: Tell me about rifles in 375 H&h -AK bush living

79S, those M70's are hard to beat, especially if you like the rifle a bit lighter. Here are a couple of pics of my M70 stainless Featherweight in 30-06. I cut the barrel to 20" and put it in a Mc Millan Hunters Edge stock. I installed a Ruger front sight because of strength and the quick change front sight inserts. I use an X/S rear Low Weaver Back-up on the rear weaver base as a back-up sight. I replaced the screw that attaches the X/S sight with a stud and thumb nut so I would not need tools if I had to put the sight on in the field. Since the pictures, I have changed to a larger rear aperture. I have found the white bead to be faster, for me, than the white stripe post front sight. As a primary sight for driven boar, I like a good red dot. I think the red dot would be good in bear situation also. with the red dot as in the picture, this rifle weighs 7 pounds, 1 .75 ounces RJ
