I have two, standard & FWT, both pre-64s

The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

I bought enough pre 64 30-06 m70's for all 5 of my kids to have one....and a few for myself. If hell freezes over, they'll still work fine.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

That is an incredibly impressive rack. I don't know if they make them like that anymore, at least outside of high fences anyway.

I have two 30/06 pre 64 Fwt's, both made in my birth year, 1961. I admittedly have not hunted with the beat up user grade in quite some time. But I used it almost exclusively from 1990 to about 2001. This pic was from 2006 when I used it to celebrate the 100th aniv. of the 30/06. My other 30/06 '61 Fwt other than a couple of safe dings is like new. I'm not sure it's ever been used at all. I may sell or trade it toward a rechambered 1954is 300 Wby Mdl 70 (I have a nice '54 300 H&H barrel) Beautiful pic.
