Local guy here in town has an original like that one that is pretty pristine.. claims his grand dad bought it new in 1941, and used it for ALL of his hunting needs... from Elk down to deer...

it has a 6 power early "Alaskan" scope mounted on top...can't remember if it is a Lyman or Leupold...

He sure loves to run into me at the range, so he can have someone drool over it... he no longer hunts, just collects rifles and restores them, mainly Military Surplus stuff...

The Model 70 is chambered in 220 Swift....
