Thanks Rich ,No ,sad to say ,it is a 1974 Model 70 ,It is a good shooter ,My Dad has a Pre 64 270 FW and has carried it every year since he purchased it in 1958 ,It is a nice Rifle but it sure isn't a collector piece ! A little story that goes along with that Rifle ,I was about 13 or so ,my Dad and I were sitting at the head of a deep hollow ,where Bucks still cross yet today ,as a matter of fact ,I own the Hollow now , . We had a thick piece of Milk Chocalate we were sharing ,my Dad pulled his knife from the sheath and stuck the point in that chocolate and rapped the end of the knife through the chocolate and the point went into the stock just enough to make a nice little hole ,my Dad handed me my piece of chocolate and commented ,you will never forget the day you and I sat on this log and ate this chocolate and watched for Deer ,and when I am gone ,you will always remember this mark and us being together here hunting ! Fortunatly ,my Dad is still with us and still carrying that Model 70 at 82 years , but he was right ,I haven't forgotten ,every time I pick up his gun ,I look for the mark and sure enough ,it is still there !
