Had four M70's, advoid the "Black Shadow" variants, one I had was 7mmRem Mag and would not group commercial 150 gr ammo on a paper plate.
The other are wood stocks, [2 walnur, third is male] like them all. first is a post64-first series vairant, that had no guide slot on the bolt lug, in 7mmEM, second if 1970' era, with the guide slot, third is a contacted M70 sold to sear, Roebuck, marketed as the Ted Williams M73, with a "U" SN not the "G" sn of the seocipnd series post 64's. Its' a 30-06 and I think Ill get a .35 WHelan barrel made aand mated to the action. |
