I found this thread while looking for trigger adjustment for a pre 64. Sure has been nice looking at the beautiful rifles.

In 1980, I bought a Model 70 (pre 64), standard in 270 with a Weaver KV 2 3/4 to 5. The gun had had a half box of Winchester Western shot in it and I got the other half with the gun. I shot the other half and put in in the safe to be a safe queen. It was, literally, 98% including the Weaver.

A month ago I started shooting it again along with four other safe queens. What a joy this is to shoot. I carefully took off the Weaver, put it back in it's original box (I have the box for the 70 also) and replaced it with a Nikon 4.5X14X40 BDC. Since then I've shot about 150 rounds (I reload with the Lee Loader that came with it).

Thanks again for the great pictures. I'll have to get my daughter to teach me how to post a picture. Forgot to say - serial number 207XXX from 1952.
