Pre 64 Model 70

[Earl33]

I'm guessing a few of you have one or six.. Mine are on the short list (dont mess with) .. I say mine, my niece and daughter will have run of the mill one day.. .308 feather weight, 264 win mag., 300 HH mag, Not worth as much but important to me is my model 70 classic in 7mm mag. Any other pre 64 enthusiast out there?

Nice!

I don't have any pre 64s (yet), but I have been keeping my eyes open. BTW, I love the 300 H&H round. I have a Remmy 721 in that caliber.

The 64 was way ahead of the game.. Crazy how things work out like they do.. When I heard they came out with the classic I searched high and low for a 7mm.. Found one at BPS in Springfield MO. Was there for the fall fest they have each year.. Me, being me and not thinking outside my blinders should had gotten the only two they had..  Kick in the ass, the other was a .308.. Me!! being Me!! said to myself, "Self, you dont need two .308"s" Its a moment i still look back on.. I personally know of no one else with a classic..

Is your H & H a sporter or a long range bull gun (...26 inch heavy barrel...) ?  I've got an old 30-06 postition rifle.

They are a great thing.

I'm hunting pre-64 model 70's now. More in to the 88's and 100's as I have several of those, 2 pre-64's and 2 late 60's.

I've got a pre '64 70 in .22 Hornet.  The engineering that went into making that round work in that action is pretty interesting.

Now that would be cool to have.. never seen  the .22 Hornet.. Do you shoot it, or wall hanger? Will it drive tack's?

Shoot it now and again.  Last time out it shot 3/4" at 100 yards with Hornady 35 grain ammo and cheap 4x scope.

Thanks. Not many folks recognize the scope. I really like them, and you can run across them now and again well worth the money.

 

I'd sure like to see pics of the 22 Hornet mentioned above. I'll bet I'm not alone.

I had a guy give me one in mint condition.. Told me it was given to him and if i thought I could use it, it was mine.. going to put it on the 300 to give it that vintage look.. Working on posting up some pics now..
