I agree that S&K’s look sharp on a pre-64 Model 70

Do you have side by side picture so we can see exactly how the rifle compares in beauty with each scope.

Thanks....Beave😎


Maybe because the old Weaver K3 is not weatherproof/waterproof?

About 3 years ago I bought a nice Lyman Alaskan with mounts for an M70 from the classified here. I thought about offering it to the OP for his "Bob", but then a M70 .257 showed up in the classifieds within my price range and voilà, the Alaskan is now on my "Bob"!

Not as pristine as the OPs it's gonna make a sweet vintage whitetail rig.

Nice rifle, Bushmaster.

My collecting may not be someone else's idea of it, either.

Feel free to continue to annoy with pre64 stories and pics and I'll do same with S&W handguns.

i have friend who has a Winchester 70 pre 64 in a 257 Roberts - i have a couple of new Ruger #1`s 257 Roberts in Mannlichers still in the box we are close to a trade deal. yes the 257 Roberts cartridge is such a overlooked cartridge by the rifle manufactures and that is a real shame but at my place and family hunting the ladies and soon grandkids will and do use this cartridge ! May the 257 ROBERTS remain a favorite deer rifle cartridge ! good luck this fall ,Pete53

The 97 is one of my keepers.

The story of how I acquired my Winchester 21 is boring, but here it is: My bid on Gunbroker was the high bid.

The post immediately above was predictable. I should have found someone to make a bet with!

Good Gawd. Beauties. Whore away. smile

Jealousy is a very powerful human emotion. smile

Love that you got the 21 off GB. Hard to harvest a deal there, anymore.

Had been looking for years with no luck for a 21 at a price I could afford with a beaver tail forearm, vent rib and M/F barrels to use at the trap line.

When the above 21 showed up on a no reserve Gunbroker auction with a reasonable starting bid, and an FFL seller who took credit cards and accepted returns, I bid up to my comfort zone and it was the high bid. Credit card payment was important as it provided a significant protection against fraud.

Good strategies, all. I have another for GB.

If an auction ends at an inconvenient time for the masses, that's probably a good thing. Hint. smile
