Updated the scope for the m70ish build. Felt it was appropriate to have black mounts, even if they are a later production set. The scope would probably be late 50s to early 60s based of serial number, but that is just a wild guess. IF it is that date range, then it matches the guns 1962 date fairly well.

I have also decided to look for a take off sporter stock as I don’t like the lines or overall looks of the one I purchased. Maybe that will change when I actually set the metal into it though.

New scope, hopefully in my hands Monday or Tuesday

Looks great!
Scope came today. I was nervous when the box appeared, it has been through hell and back a few times on the way to me.

Scope looks phenomenal despite the terrible packing job. Pretty sure it is a 2 inch ultra varmint with a plain head. Glass is super clear, and adjustment knobs have very audible clicks as they dial. Overall, I think this will be a superb fit for the m70ish.

I know I posted the auction photo of the take off stock, but those photos don’t do it justice. This thing is sharp, has a few “character” marks, but dang I’m impressed. I think this is the stock I should have purchased from the beginning. One of those things that sing to you and let you know it’s right

Does your your wife know you killed her manx cat and mounted it ? Keeping it hid in the gun room/man cave ???




I know, it's not a manx.... it's a bob...
I always teased we were gonna have the dogs stuffed when they died. She doesn’t don’t is as funny as me.

The cats are evil and will probably outlive satan himself.
