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.

Incredible.

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

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)
