Any Model 70 love out there?

[Bob Wright]

I had 2 push feeds. The .270 Win FW went to my oldest grandson and I acquired another in .243 Win and it will be for my youngest grandsons hunting future. It's a delight to shoot this 243. I don't even want to change it.

I have my dad's '61 m70 264wm and about a '15 moder of same cartridge. The later has a horrible looking chote stock and the '61 still has original stock.

I have a few classic stainless CRF from mid 90s and one 70 Alaskan made in S Carolina in 2013?

Here's a XTR chambered in .270 that I picked up at a pawn shop. It looked like death warmed over with a bell and Carlson synthetic stock that paint was wearing off and showing fiberglass. Someone took they're bloody hands and grabbed the barrel and didn't clean it up fast enough and it left they're finger marks on the barrel. Only thinking it had going for it, was it had a older model Redfield sitting atop of it. That ol girl shoots 130gr sierra soft point loaded by federal lights out. Had trigger adjusted down to 4lbs or so, cerakoted, VX3 3X9X40 and a stock I had laying around from a different gun.

I still hunt with my dada 30/06 feather weight

I have a couple. A late 60s model in 308 and an early 80s model featherweight in 270.

I've killed more animals with my M70 chambered in 300 WSM than any other weapon. Here's a few examples.

Anyone else a Model 70 weirdo like me? Seems we are becoming a rarity these days. I'd love to see some pics and specs of other 70's out there. I'll get the ball rolling because I want to give a big shout out to Diamond T rifles in Craigmont ID, one of the few shops that will work on Model 70's these days. They do a fantastic job, I couldn't be happier with the build I just got back from them. Rifle below is my 90's vintage stainless classic in 300 PRC with a 22" proof barrel, SRS ti two port break, and a McMillan game hunter handle. It's been lightened a bit and has a titanium Murphy Percision pic rail. It shoots 215 Bergers and 199 Hammers in the 4's all day. Let's see some more 70's.

I`ve got a good pre 64....264 mag....95% NRA all original if you guys collect them.... pics on request...

Started my hunting with a Model 70 over five decades ago and still own six….Three pre-64's(30-06, 300H&H, 458WM African), and three post 64's( 30-06, 270WSM, 458WM African). A frequent hunting companion in many memorable hunts..(including the 203" Typical Mule Deer in my ID picture).
My favorite rifle for 50+ years, a 1958 Model 70 Supergrade, 30-06). still shoots sub MOA.

I have (4) a pre-64 in .264 Win mag, a 1980 Featherweight in .280 Rem, a 2009 (Utah-built) Safari Classic in .375 H& H, and a brand new 30-06 Featherweight. Love model 70's

I bought a pushfeed M70 in 30-06. It came with a factory McMillan stock and Featherweight barrel. I got a reduced price because the barrel was pitted. I had planned on swapping out the barrel, but it shot just fine. It's been my go to for 20 years.

I've owned several mostly the SS all weathers and love them. I built my 280AI off of a 89 push feed and it def shoots
