I have owned numerous pre-64 M/70's over the years since buying my first .30-06 in 1975. I now have two, a pre-war .257 Roberts that I lucked into at a small gun show in Ohio the dealer even had an extra stock for it brand new in the box. The other is my deer rifle, an old .30-06 that I had Randall Redman rebore to .35 Whelen. It wears an early Leupold 2-7X in a Griffin & Howe double lever mount.
