Daryl,

I missed this thread the first time around. Nice rifle!

For many years my favorite bolt rifle was a standard weight M70 chambered in .30-06. It was a 1951 creation. I had it mounted with a 4x scope, and it was a tack driver.

Somewhere along the line, after I got deeply involved with double rifles, I sold the M70. Often I wish I hadn't. Mine easily shot sub-moa 5 shot groups with the 4x scope. These rifles were made to shoot!
