1946 (I think) model 70 .270 that was my grandfathers. He passed in 2000. Before he died, he sold it to a buddy of his. I contacted him and asked to buy it if he ever sold it. After about 10 years, he said he was ready to sell and to come over. We small talked a little then I asked him how much? He asked how much money I had in my pocket, I had a wad of bills. No, he said, any change. I didn't but Dad did and he held out some. Guy took two pennies. That's what my grandfather sold it to him for, his two cents. Pop-pop was funny like that. Also have his Ithaca 16ga SxS that I used to kill my first rabbit.

The other is my Dad 760 .270. He passed in 2019.

I've killed 2 8pts with each, one shot each. Carrying Dad's again this year.
