I'm looking for a nice decent pre-64 M70 .30-06 fwt. Any leads? I spotted one on GB, but the stock is scuffed quite a bit.

Well one has to ask, "Are you opening a museum or are you planning to hunt with it?"
I like Fwts for hunting and most of them were bought to hunt with. It is nice to hunt with a pristine original, but my main Fwt has lots of scars. It also has an aluminum buttplate that I almost wish was a recoil pad. My 375 H&H is a reblue as well. They both talked with authority in Africa though!
There are lots of 30-06 Fwts around. Check Gunsinternational. Prices would be from $800-$1500 depending on era and condition.

That's a good thing, cause the 30-06 fwt made its debut in 1955...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

.30-06 Featherweights for less than $1K are few and far between. Most are priced north of $1K you will find, if you are patient a nice one will come along for $1K perhaps a little less.

Nice unmolested early FWs aren't around every corner as we know. While I didn't "need" it I put in a bid and was pleasantly surprised that no one else was chasing it..
