Model 70 Range Day

[PHOENIX PHIL]

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!
