I may be a little late to the party on this. I just watched Hell or High Water. Pretty sure when the west Texas guy got Jeff Bridges circled around back of the bad guy (who I was sorta rooting for until he started killing people), the west Texas boy handed Jeff a Pre '64 M70 with an adjustable objective Leupold mounted. Anybody here agree I got that right. (Also, it seems to me to be a pretty "appropriate" rifle as far as context of the story.)

I noticed that also, it appears to be a pre 64 M70. The character he shoots appears to be using a newer Mossberg rifle.

GunDoc7: Thats the way I saw it.
The second time I saw the movie I also noticed a large Rattlesnake coiled up near the foot of the soon to be "Model 70'ed" to death brother.
I will double check the A/O Leupold next time I watch it.
I enjoyed the movie myself - it was humble yet interesting and entertaining.
Well acted by all I thought.
I enjoyed the cranky waitress and the big titted waitress equally.
I'll get back to you on the A/O Leupold - ASAP.

What years did the model 70 have the hooded front sight? Without checking Rule, I'm going out on a limb and say all of them, meaning if they had a sight, it was hooded.

I'll have to assume my son's 1960 Model 70 is not an original front sight then. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Gordon-Winchester-Mod-70-Pre-64-30-06/n-6pVwKM/i-ZHDQtTj/0/f2f71bca/L/i-ZHDQtTj-L.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Gordon-Winchester-Mod-70-Pre-64-30-06/n-6pVwKM/i-h5RLsfx/0/2e17ebc8/L/i-h5RLsfx-L.jpg)

Sight looks original. The hoods slip into a groove on the sight base. Many were removed.
