I agree that S&K’s look sharp on a pre-64 Model 70 Damn right, NICE! Trump Won!

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?

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.

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.
