Model 70 Range Day

Fatback said:
I was able to score another left handed model 70 this week. This one is chambered in 270 Win. Now to decide whether to leave it a 270 or possibly re-barrel. I’ve kicked around the idea of a 7x57 Mauser or a 25-06 Rem. I’ll shoot it first and go from there. Either one should be a pretty straight forward re-barrel project. Decisions, decisions….

Nice set of M70's! Having one customized to 7x57 would be great. I bought one a few years back, a production FW for my son. Wish I had bought at least two of them! I don't recall if his had the larger mag box I think you need to seat the bullets longer for heavier projectiles. But I'd make sure of that.

Geesh, I'm talking myself into a new rifle that I don't need!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
