I was out and about, having a key made for my new/used Honda Accord I bought to save money at the pump and stumbled across a nice pre 64 model 70 featherweight at a reasonable price. It is equipped, already, with a Mcmillan stock and older Leupold VariX III 3.5-10x40 rifle scope in Conetrol rings. Someone had it set up very nicely. I bought the rifle to tinker around with and spruce it up a bit. I'm not a fan of the painted gray stock, so it's going to get painted. Sadly enough, Mcmillan did a damn fine job installing the black 1" pachmayr pad, or I would replace it with a red pad. That may happen down the road, as I am going to paint the stock my usual brown color. Red pads go so well with a brown stock IMHO. Anyway, the bluing is in excellent condition and the bore is pristine. I don't think it's been shot much. I haven't pulled the action out of the stock yet to see what kind of glass bedding job is there. If it's not well done, I'll re-do it. My plans are to shoot it as is before I touch it and see how it does and then go from there. Wish me luck and you guys have a great Easter!!!
