This is valuable background information.
It would appear that the pre-64 Model 70s in 30-06 will stay home while an older scarred custom Mauser M-98
will be making the trip. The Mauser is from the early 60s and is chambered in 30-06 Ackley Improved, but
it chambers and shoots 30-06 standard cartridges as designed.

Definitely Noslers and Swift 180 gr A-Frames. Along with an extra Leupold scope -readily attachable.
Or just maybe bring along the worn other Model 70 as a backup rifle-same caliber, almost. Decisions.
