I picked up another Pre'64 Model 70 a couple weeks ago so I thought it was time for a photo op. Top to bottom. 1960 action, 24" Shilen in 308 Norma. McMillan Supergrade stock, 3.5-10X Leupy. 1958 Fwt in 243 with 2.5-8X Leupy, stock refinished. 1959 Fwt in 30-06 with 2.5-8X Leupy 1951 270 with old custom stock(Fajen?)& 2.5-8 B&L in adjustable mount. Recently acquired 1952 beater in 30-06, this was a 270 with a bulged barrel in which I installed a '46 barrel in 30-06. Can't find anything else that "feels" like a Pre'64 M70.... Looking for more...
