Not mine and I’m kind of full-up in mid-caliber M70s, but thought I’d post it here because of its relative rarity and seems like a pretty good buy for what the seller likely has invested. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/824469600

I didn't see the ROT specified. That is probably the kicker - looks like the barrel is a re-bored 243 Win, so I’m guessing 1-10”. Would have to message the seller to know for sure.

Certainly worth it for the parts. Was an HS stock and the seller did not know who did the rebore so I doubt he knew the twist. Late production New Haven gun ...

Question for anyone who knows:
If the bore is opened up from 243 to 264, isn’t some of the original rifling left? Could the twist even be changed with about 0.0105” being removed from the rifling on each side of the bore? I guess maybe it could have been lined I read of rebored...

I believe rifling is .004 to .005 deep. So bore diameter of .264 should be .254 or a bit more. That is .011 over the groove diameter of .243. I don't know much about reboring, but it seems to me the rifling would be removed.
