[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 439288, member: 2693"] hmmmmm. a PRE 64 model 70 and you are going to CHANGE it???? Are you certain you want to do that? Ackley didn't improve much of anything with his modifications. JMO, but you'd be wise to leave that rifle alone. A 30-06AI is absolutely not worth it. My .06 shoots as well as a 308 and I have at least 5 loads that shoot sub and 1/2 MOA. The AI version will not improve a thing, IMO. The ONLY AI worth having is a 280, with the 260 a close second but even the latter is a waste of time IMO. Just a wish from me but PLEASE don't change that pre 64 model 70. For the money you could get for it selling it you could build a really fine custom rifle, that is, if you want to part with it. Here's the best advice I can give you: keep that model 70 as is and don't modify a thing. You want a 30 with a little more juice, get a 300 WSM, or Ruger 30 compact magnum. Before you change that rifle, I highly recommend you get it appraised. [/QUOTE]
