Also sold std rifle in 35 Rem but rest easy as this purest still has a dozen or so left. including a 300 Savage, only about 360 built  |
Of all the Model 70’s I had the one I wish I had back was a circa 1961 264 Win Mag with a factory stainless 26” barrel . I killed a BUNCH of deer with that rifle . I had a 56 243 Varmint and a 60 220 Swift Varmint both with factory stainless barrels , I wouldn’t turn either of them down if they came to me again !
