OK, great info guys,,, I am not a model 70 expert, but I know the rifle did have an aluminum butt plate and I did notice also the receiver was factory D+T and it had a fold down rear sight that looked factory. I am thinking it is a featherweight because of the light weight of the rifle and it also was stamped on barrel. Boy did that thing handle and shoulder nice !! My guess is the guy at the shop got the date wrong.. Will be going back this week for more info if it is still there. This shop is one of the few left in my area that does not list their guns on gunbroker or other internet sights. Will get serial number also.
