The Mod. 70 may prove to be the best modern rifle of all time.
I bought a Ranger version in 30-06 in 1980. Bedded and floated it. Put on a cheap garage sale scope. It has won awards for me in competition with near one hole groups. I do 'cheat'. I bored a hole in the rear of the stock and fill that with #7 1/2 shot before competition. Shot is removed for hunting and it has brought home the meat. BTW, I paid $180.00 for it new. I think I got my moneys worth. Not fancy but I didn't buy it to look at.
