Man that looks good. I would take just about anything with a maple stock like that. Fine looking rifle.

I had one in 270. It had a vey nice piece of maple, and I think I sold it for about $1100.
I just couldn't like the light wood (once I had it).
Take a look at the dark maple featherweights too.

Checkering is hideous. Is that the best can be done on such a piece of wood and call it Super Grade?

Sorry, I cannot say. I sold it unfired. My history with M70's is pretty good though, regarding accuracy. I was taken by the retro look, but once it was delivered I just didn't like it as much. It was a beautiful rifle. Maybe something else just caught my eye?

Different strokes I guess and I don't blame you. People go nuts for the Ruger boatpaddles. If I was given one (because I would never buy one) I would sell the stock in a heartbeat. Same thing with my WBY Lazermark. I adore mine some people hate them.

Yes. Just preferences. I always figured I was the only one that has to like my rifle. BTW, I like Lazermarks

Same thing with my WBY Lazermark. I adore mine some people hate them. I like boat paddles but wouldn't give a penny more for it than I would a standard synthetic on later SS Mark II 77s. Same goes for Remington 11-87 & 870 with original Mossy Oak Bottomland camo. Shops I frequent won't give any more for these on trade either. I do like maple stocked rifles too. Wish there were other makers and models that stocked with maple.

Not for a second, not my thing. I know two guys that own them, both have 06,s and both shoot excellent.

Jack O'Connor called darkening the checkering on light-colored stocks like that a "dreary idea".
Old Jack was right. Since everybody does it like that, the only way to prove it is to go custom or refinish.
Just one old fart's opinion, but checkering should allow the wood grain to show through the diamonds. Put that Sharpie down.
What fresh Hell is this?

Take a look at the dark maple featherweights too. I've seen a few of those (pics). Very nice.

I saw a nice M70 264 down in Glendive yesterday, $1094 (non maple).

Fotis,
With all due respect , that is one fugly impractical rifle that is only suited for safe queen status. My idea of perfection in a factory rifle is a weatherby classicmark.

I'm with Fotis - I think maple stock rifles are beautiful, and it doesn't get much better than a maple stocked M70 Supergrade. Icing on the cake is the .264WM chambering. I've toyed with pulling the trigger on one for a while, but just got too many other rifle projects going on right now.
If I wanted "practical," I'd be buying all my meat in the grocery store.

I always figured I was the only one that has to like my rifle. This. Maple gives me "chills and fever" in the words of JOC. In the end it's your folding money, spend it as you will.
