Was at the Cabels in Dundee MI and came across "user grade" M70Fwt .308 in a McMillan swirly stock for $799 IIRC. It does not show on their website. Metal was pretty decent with a couple scratches by the rear sight. Probably a good price considering the stock. Would make a great .358 rebore.

Forgot to add, Pre-64 M70. The stock looked in great condition, it's a black/green combo. It has a junk scope (Tasco?) mounted.

You have more restraint than I do. I couldn’t have left that rifle in that horrible store ... scared, hungry, and lonely. 😔

I already have enough "user" rifles (including 4 pre-64 M70s) that don't get hunted. I've finally realised I can't own them all, I don't have enough hunting seasons left to use the ones in my safes now. I also left a Winchester 9422 Legacy and a LH Brown Precision .25-06 that sparked my interest too. I do feel bad leaving nice guns on their racks, there's a lot of Amish folk that frequent that store and they're not gentle when they pull a gun off the rack to look it over. Makes me cringe.

That’s funny right there. smile

Glad I’m not the only one who is compelled to save these rifles. Probably was starting to show flu-like symptoms already with that Tasco bolted to it.

Yeah, the gunshop owner probably talked up that Tasco though. I went into a gunshop the other day and there was a nice rifle there, but it had a real chitty scope on it. I think NCStar or something. The shop owner went on and on about how the scope was worth $300.00. I asked him if he would take the scope off and reduce the price by $300.00, then it was a "Hell NO" response. Then I said, I didn't think so, good luck with the sale man....

These soldiers at Ft Carson were at the range, shooting their ar and they just came from the gunshow with one of them scopes. Mounted it on the AR started shooting couldn't hit chit. The ph ucked with it, finally on paper. Then it came to the end when the glass fell out of it lol.
