[QUOTE="milico409, post: 575355, member: 30605"] I am getting ready for retirement and decided I wanted to jazz up my post 64 mdl 70 30.06. Here are my changes: Choate Ultimate Varmit stock Lothar Walther 26" barrel gun) Millet trs1 4-16-50 Harris bipod 6-9 in. I hope to be shooting it with in the next few weeks. I purchased the mdl 70 back in 95 to go hunting with my father. Based on research, seems the rifle was made in 1973. It had a 22" barrel and it shot pretty good. "I had a motorcycle wreck which jacked up my ability to properly mount a standard rifle. I liked the look of the Choate Varmit stock and not being a gunsmith (but have a friend who is) I provided him the parts. I wanted a 24 in barrel but according to the barrel maker, a 26 would yield better ballistics. Being that I am a retiring police officer I know more about handguns than rifles(I know some Swat guys but....), I relied on reading this site and others to determine which direction I wanted to go. My smith's last comment to me about the build is this rifle is looking bad-a--. I don't think you will go wrong. Lots of Ideas out there. As soon as its finished and I get the chance to shoot it I'll know if my thoughts were right. gun)Happy Hunting.... [/QUOTE]
