Pretty nice rifle! The "Classic Stainless" rifles are my favorites of the Mod. 70's. I tricked one like you have out a bit and gave to my son-in-law.

I have the bolt sleeve welded to the bolt on our Classic's as it is pressed onto the bolt body and I have heard of a couple that came loose from the bolt body. The one I had used stamped steel for the follower spring and extractor so they were replaced with spring steel ones. The local gun smith ground off part of the follower and the rifle then held 4 rounds in the magazine. Iron sights from New England Custom guns and barrel cut to 22 inches.

I am a fan of the Leupold 2.5-8x36 and when I was on 2.5 power shooting the brown bear at 30 feet late one evening was really a very simple matter, fast sight picture and press trigger. Is it Mag-Na-Ported or my eyes tricking me?

One thing is for sure, you are well armed for any Alaskan critter.

HaHa, I fixed it, not 30 inches, about 30 feet. Darn old brain and key boards.
