[QUOTE="BillR, post: 605502, member: 462"] They are worth far more in one piece than tore down for the actions. Even if the barrels are getting a bit rough or long in the tooth. If you need actions and cannot afford to buy something else than sell them and let them go to a collector and take the money and buy the parts and have a new rifle built. You should be able to get a long way down the road towards a custom build by selling them and taking the money and putting it on a new build. IF they are in fact target models and haven't been messed with their worth even more than a standard Pre-64 Mod 70. All that said I will say this. Even though the Mod 70's are prized for their quality they are still old technology. Many of the new actions out there are by far better quality. Build yourself a new gun and let the collectors smile over a new acquisition. You both will be happy. [/QUOTE]
