[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1825181, member: 36473"] Is it pitting or some kind of bumpy build up? What kind of shape is the rifle in? Does it have clean original wood with factory but plate and are the sights in original condition? If it is a complete clean MOD70 in 375H&H and shoots ok enjoy it as a rare collectible and leave it as is. Or you could get top dollar for it and buy a run of the mill M70 and play with it. DO NOT I say DO NOT F up a nice clean collectable (if it is) just because the bore looks funky. I just went through the process of selling a M70 in 300H&H and it had several issues (wood crack at the top of wrist behind rear tang and a barrel that was not correct for age of receiver), if not for those it would have sold for a lot more. But of course you are free to do what you like. [/QUOTE]
