My girlfriend gave me a M70 30-06 for Christmas in 1977. I went to Nome that year to have Christmas with her family. I gave her a fur coat and I got the 06. I thought it was a fair trade. Still have the rifle and the girl. She gave me a M70 in 375 H&H for Christmas in 93, I think I'll keep her. I got my father's and hunting partners rifles when they passed away, but those two model 70s are the special ones.
