[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 710486, member: 30671"] Stuff comes and goes, but the technical side is meaningful in the review. Pre-64 Model 70 30-06 Featherweight, in an older Brown Precision stock. Magazine spring and follower exited via hinged floor plate. Some gas exited scarring the underside of the scope, which looks otherwise undamaged time will tell, the external pieces of the extractor are gone, some chipping of stock where gas exited forward port of receiver. A thin piece of metal on the forward portion of the bolt looks like a peeled popcan and is about as sharp. Of course its welded shut. On the left portion of the stock about 8 inches of stock is missing from just behind the rear bolt into the tang, and just behind the bolt at the receiver front. From the left side everything is exposed. It would make a good cut away for showing off pillar bedding. New thought maybe pillars held it together a bit. Bolt release gone, chunk out of the receiver. No barrel bulge noted. From a shooting standpoint this rifle would shoot great groups with about anything, but first shots with the Bergers were awesome. My nomenclature is failing me right now sorry about the general descriptions. I'm not good with pictures, but did mange to send one by phone to Tikkamike. Mike if your reading and are willing to post a picture that would be great. Give it a day for him to chime in. If not PM your number, and I'll try to send it to you. WOW has been the most common reaction to seeing it. [/QUOTE]
