ChrisF, mine is actually just a m70 short action push feed I shoot Palma with.
I do have a friend with a stash of Boot's barrels.
I told him at our last 1000 yard practice that I'd buy another if he wanted to sell. I think I caught him at a weak moment with the first one.
I have heard that there was a true solid bottom M70 action made for target rifles that is likely the rarest. Grant U. had owned one I heard. I didn't think they were sold as complete rifles. I should email him, he was a Winchester sales rep for years. Wondering if that is the Palma 1976...
