Want To Buy Non Custom pre 64 M70

[Hedge774]

Hey Guys!
I'm really trying to get a feel for what's out there and the online sites are no help. I'm looking for a pre 64 that I can have some simple work done on to make it "My Own". (One thing would be to send it to Mr. Renner) This would be a hunting rifle, so collectors value isn't very important to me. I'm much more concerned on having a rock solid PG rifle with some historical pedigree. Ideal caliber would be .270, but I'm very flexible on that. More importantly, I've set a budget for around $2000 for the rifle as I know upgrade$ will be on the way. If you have one for sale, please let me know. If you have some advice on a project like this, please share it with me!
Thanks as always!
Eric

Thank you, Sir!

Thank you, Sir!

@Hedge774 you should give Shedhorn a phone call back and ask about a pre64 in .270. I see them in there all of the time, wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have one in there right now and they are usually always under 2K.

@MontanaPat Thanks a bunch, My Man!

Thank you, Sir!

You're welcome! I had them redo a Model 70 for me and it came back essentially looking and functioning like a brand new rifle. So this rifle is a little bit over your budget but you're not going to have any issues with it. Buy the best and you'll only cry once.
