Brad thank you for posting this. I knew ‘of‘ Pete but never corresponded. Folks like him are truly unique in our beloved pursuit. I’ll pray for his family.
Sincerely appreciated the personal touch you added to your post.
Cheers
Tim

Brad, thanks for the heads up, Being a lefty and my all time fav being a SS LH ‘70 I’d like to thank Pete for his time,
This could also be posted in the Lefty section just as well.
LH ‘70’s are coveted by many.

HOW was it the biggest piece of junk you ever bought? Obviously a week with a rifle is a vast amount of time, allowing one to test a variety of handloads and factory loads, so maybe there was a mechanical issue rather than an accuracy issue you discovered in your extensive week's work with the rifle?

Brad's post count has given reason to value his opinion. You on the other hand.....

Post count besides the point, I haven't seen many LH M64s in 30-06 myself  I know Pathfinder76 has a few LH'ed M70 gems that are mighty fine shooters.

The model 64 I own is ambidextrous. Trying to figure out how you would make one left handed..😉

I refuse to part with the two LH M70s I have. One an 06 I have used quite a bit and the other 300 Win Mag I have never even fired. However, both are smooth as polished rubies and feed as one would expect.
The way life should be.
