What do you think of this one guys? Not a very good pic or description. Is that cheek piece gonna knock you in the jaw?

500grainsIt's a model 70 pushfeed made during the heyday of monte carlo cheekpieces. The M70 pushfeed was a pretty good action, but still a pushfeed. Assuming you can stomach the monte carlo and the pushfeed, the rifle still needs new mounts (that do not project over the loading port) and new sights. Once that work is done you will have yourself a $400 rifle which cost $700.

schromfFYI,
CDNN is selling NIB Model 70 CRF's for $889, chambered in 375 H&H, 416 Rem, and 458 Win Mag.
My guess is with the reserve not meet its at least a couple hundred more to meet the reserve, for that I would buy the new CRF.
