Obviously loved and used but not abused and more importantly not altered.
Solid specimen and "buy" for someone wanting a pre-war 70. Getting harder to find in this presentation as well. Priced very fairly. Would add "not bad looking for an almost 90 year old lady!"
Good luck!

This is ultimate classic rifle! I have it’s twin but in a Super Grade.
The workmanship of this M70 rifle is second to none IMO.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Geez that is a nice old "survivor"! I have a couple just like it. You don't see them like this every day.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Retired and scaling back a bit so no longer in the budget for a great old gun like this.

Lots of people were talking to themselves on this one I suspect and rightfully so!!!
It did not take "loony" status to see the value in this offering. In fact, I would go on to say that if this particular rifle/price did not "affect" you at some level then you should consider turning in your Campfire card among other things.

I guess I get to keep my card. This one had me thinking. A few years back, I bought, then sold, an old Model 70 Winchester 30-06 with a three digit serial number!😱 Live and learn, but then it might be too late. donsm70

My brother is a machinist and once made me a rear scope base that attached to the receiver sight holes. Nice rifle you have I let another family member buy the rifle. Nice unaltered rifle you have.
I walk around like I'm ok, but deep down inside, I wanna buy another gun.
