TSJA hunting supergrade M 70?
I have a pre 64 supergrade 30-06 I'm thinking of parting with.
It's had a pad put on it, and D&T for a cursed sidemount everyone seem to put on. Nice shape overall though. I guess I consider it a very nice hunting gun. What kind of price should I put on it? Thanks

Id look for a stock and a mount of that period and keep it.

Alberta CanuckIf it has been D&T for a G&H side-mount, by all means I'd find a G&H double-lever mount and put it back to work. I used to have a bobbed barrel pre-war M70 (18" .375 H&H) that was on its
third barrel when I sold it in 1966. It spent almost all it's life working in the Alaskan coastal bush, and that mount never failed; was never a problem of any sort. Used to carry the scope under my Mackinaw in the rain. Slap it back on, turn each lever half a turn, and ready to go to work.
May look less than fancy-dancy to modern shooters, but those things (both rifles and scope mounts) sure as heck work!!

TSJI have my favorites, and, this just isnt one of them. Someone I'm sure would love it just to have for their hunting rifle.
