Edgar I have always steered away from the pre war rifles because the rear bridge wasn't drilled and tapped for a scope mount and to do that is kin to cutting off a couple of inches of barrel length on the premis of opening up the choke! That will turn out to be a great investment if you ever decide to sell. I also have a pre 64 M70 in 257 Roberts and with H414 and a 100gr bullet its a deers worst nightmare. I'm looking forward to getting a load developed fro my 7X57 M70 carbine another great deer cartridge. So many rifles so little deer season.
