Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Switching Out a .280 M70 for a 7x57 M70 (PHOTO Heavy)

Bill,

Please rest easy knowing the 700 Mtn Rifle you sold me is being lovingly cared-for, and regularly hunted with. It's now all dressed-up with a 4x32 Conquest in Talley Lows, and feasts on S&B 173 SPCE ammo.

I loaned this rifle to a buddy for a hog hunt, & I had to pry it out of his hands afterward. He later found his own 7x57 MR online, & he's now as happy as pig in _________.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw your post asking to trade, because I'd recently had a M70 fwt 7x57, too! I never could like it as much as the 700, and I sent it down the road, just a few months before your query.

I loved reading your post, & seeing your pics. Do send some game pix when you bloody your latest 7x57.
