Teach me about the Model 70 - 01/10/20
I hear that all pre-64 model 70’s were long action.....the way they put 308, etc in them was with a longer bolt stop and mag spacer. True?
I hear model 70 classics are the same way....true? Such that I can buy a 270 win or other .473 bolt face and load/throat to 3.6” by removing the mag spacer and adjusting the bolt stop.....is this true?
I’m asking because I want to get a base rifle in 0.473” bolt face that I can run 3.600” rounds out of it, including ejecting live rounds and feeding from the magazine.
Will I need bottom metal, or will I just remove a spacer, or something?
Really no need to comment on the post 64 push feed actions...I also get WSM actions are their own bird.
