I will post some others later but here is my pre-64, mfg 1961 model 70 fwt in .270 Winchester.

This rifle belonged to my cousin who was a D1 athlete, Vietnam war hero, and just plain great guy. He passed away a week before a pronghorn we were planning back in the mid 80's. My uncle knew I always admired the rifle and gave it to me a couple of years ago. He was a WWII vet himself and just passed away last year.

from a collectors point of view I committed a no no because I did refinish the rifle. It was in no great shape and had some things not quite correct about it but she is back to the condition she deserves to be in now.
