Pre-64 Model 70 tac build

Back around Christmas time, I found this old 1959 on the used rack in Maine. It was already chopped up with a Mcgowen barrel and cheap synthetic stock. I just had to rescue it.

This is what I turned it in to. Mark Chanlynn barreled it in 6.5x55. I found the stock on eBay that a guy had never used. Not the fondest of the color, but it was way under the price of a new one. Still to be done: Cera-kote, Farrel 20 MOA base, and a Nightforce. Jeff at CDI said he would do a bottom metal for it. Hopefully I did it justice.
