Bob’s son Bobby was kind enough to offer me two of his Dad’s FWTs he had ratholed years ago. Both are in good shape and seem like great guns. I’ve designated the 270 for my 17 month old, Toryn and the 30-06 for my 25 Y/O son, Brandon.

30-06

Very cool man! Those are sweet rifles. Thanks for sharing. Bob is smiling down on you, with a big thumbs up, I'm sure.

Beretzs: What wonderful gifts for your progeny!
I hope they appreciate those classic/safe/reliable Model 70's as much as I appreciate mine.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, what a great future those rifles have. My 3 kids are all set up as well with pre 64 M70's...... it's just the right thing to do!

Where do you guys get a front sight hood. The 270 doesn’t have one.
