This M70 left the factory in 1953, so the receiver is a year older than I am. Jim Brockman rebuilt it around the turn of the century with a Lilja 22” barrel, slenderized Brown Precision stock, the complete Brockman’s Rifles hunting rifle makeover. Back then, if you wanted a rifle to fit and point perfectly, you had to go the full custom route. This rifle is sleek and points like a fine shotgun. LOP is 13.25”, recoil pad is a Pachmeyer sporting clays pad. The Leupold VX-III 2.5-8X32 scope has a custom ballistic reticle from Premier Reticle through the Leupold Custom Shop. It sits in Talley QD rings on Talley bases.
The reticle was set up for 180 gr Nosler Partitions, but worked fine with 165’s for me. The front sight is Brockman’s Gen III; the rear sight is removable and fits in that little Cordura pouch you see at the front sling point. Langlois Ching sling. Slick action and perfect M70 trigger. I’ve loved this rifle for a couple of decades, but the kids don’t hunt and it’s got to go. $2750 shipped.
