Was in a pawn shop yesterday and a long barreled 30-06 bolt action rifle caught my eye. Rifle did not have a factory stock and trigger guard assembly appeared new. Pretty sure it was a model 70, but could find no visible markings saying what it was. Barrel and action much older than rest of rifle.
Couldn't you tell a pre 64 model 70 by bolt face design? Pre 64's bolt face fully inclosed rims of cartridges and post 64's did not.
