One of y’all need to snag this quick. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/870135412 "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

Couldn't resist as the 6,5x55 is my FAVORITE and the M70 FW just looks good!

When you mentioned the Bridges it started gears turning for me. It’d be super in an EDGE Bridges stock. I’d probably have to fight myself to not carry it elk hunting a little. Semper Fi

In my opinion that is the ultimate m70 featherweight. If any of you lucky fellas ever want to sell one send me a PM.
