I never owned a Mod 70. I had no need for one, as I have never had a love affair with ANY particular brand of rifle. I recently got one (early 90s model) on a trade. It had a crap scope which I use to test it with. It shoot extremely well with Hornady Whitetail ammo. The scope went south quickly and I put an SWFA 6x on it. It is a damn fine rifle, with a great scope. I will sell it, if somebody comes along that needs a good rifle, as I have gobs of others, BUT I am in no hurry. It is a great rifle-for a right-handed one!
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
