I picked it up, technically used, about 5 years back,but it only had 20-40 rounds through it. Miscommunication between owner and gunsmith = too short LOP (13-5/8") = benefit to me.

-1953 Pre 64 M70 action blueprinted and full action gone over by Kreiger, then again by Glen.
-#2ish 24" Krieger barrel with long cone to balance out the rifle.
-Calif English, Dakota, Special Selection, 2-3 grades higher (Glen Morovitz, the 'smith stocked for Dakota for quite some time)
-9 lb 1 oz but feels much lighter since the balance is perfect
-Sunny Hill BM
-Action completely glass bedded, no pillars, un godly tight wood to metal fit.

It likes heavier stuff (115 BT and 120 PT) with IMR 4350/4831/H4831.

Was offered a chance to buy it's twin sister in 375 H&H this past summer but, alas, fund poor.

Finally killed something it 3 months back with the 115 BT.
