[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 3099208, member: 14169"] My favorite rifle is my pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight in 30-06. I haven't shot it in many years but it is a dream to put to your shoulder and lives up to its name when I carry it in the field. The stock developed a crack that ran from the front lug all the way back to the tang of the action. I gave to a local gunsmith, Duncans Gun Works, San Marcos, CA. They took it apart, filled the crack with bedding material, bedded the whole stock and then put two cross bolts in the stock. After that work it looked like a safari grade Model 70 and became a one hole wonder off the bench. To this day I have a soft spot for pre-64 Model 70's. [/QUOTE]
