Been on a search for a model 70 308 for 2 years featherweight in mind.Well I stumbled across a model 70 stealth yesterday 308 heavy barrel 26in tube vortex outfit scope $850.My sole purpose was to find 12 yr old daughter a decent 243 not plastic scchit so I left it.The damn thing has haunted me all day I’ve already got a model 7 308 and I’m at piece with it need to find daughter the 243 she wants.She said she’d borrow her brothers model 70 243 but that ain’t right she’ll have her own in some form.
Yeah, about 25 years ago I was looking through the used gun rack at a small gun shop on Long Island and saw a very nice Savage 99 in .300 Savage. It was one of the older ones with the rotary magazine and counter. Everything checked out on it. No scratches or dings. Just a little honest wear on the finish. Price was fantastic, less than $500.00. I almost bought it. A few days later I went back to get it, and it was gone.
