Just some pretty pictures!!

Thanks to RTH1800 I got the right Unertl bases and finally had some time to fit the scope!

Bore sighted it at about 200 and hopefully will fire this week to dial in.

It’s a .220 Swift. So not a big caliber. But barrel is like new. And pretty sure it will shoot bugholes with a bit of dialing in Some handloads.

Got to find a way to display this with my ‘52.

They are like peas and carrots!!!!

Not many off the rack rifles more beautiful than a Pre-64 Model 70!! This example from 1951 and pretty minty. Mostly just rack wear.

Cheers and thanks again RTH!

Beautiful rifle by the way

The spring on the scope, is that to stabilize the scope during recoil? Beautiful rig there.

Love the 220 Swift, combo with a M70 you are in High Cotton.

Essentially yes. In the early days of scopes when reticles were made Of delicate things like spider silk… The springs buffered out recoil and old reset with a simple “pull back” gently sliding back into battery.


The old Unertl’s and! Their bretheran are some amazing engineering!!!
