I just picked up a mid-80s model 70 in 30-06. It had 11 rounds through it before I got it. Excellent condition. One thing, though. It has a monstrous front sight on it. Absolutely huge. Like, the base is 3-4 inches long and the hood sticks out well over an inch from the bore centerline. It is secured by solder, I assume, because I couldn't get it off by removing the lone screw. How can I get rid of this thing easily? Snagasaurus on brush, if I ever hunt with it. Thanks for the info.
