I wanted to share a picture or two with you all, but I am no good at reading directions and worse at following them- so forgive me I fail at posting a picture here.... or I mess it up some other way...
 Its my Dad's model 70 from 1950, with a Weaver 2-7x scope and a post/crosshair reticle.... and of course Iron Sighter See Thru mounts. Dad being a WW2 and Korea Marine veteran did not want to depend on a scope. Seems to have worked.... might be a tad large tho. More to follow. I inherited a nice bunch- split them with my sister who is a deer slayer and a half. M "Inconceivable."

Here's picture of Dad's model 70 at work. Sitting in the blind and staring down at a notorious button buck we have named "bonehead".
 If he lives til next year he should have some nice first year antlers- his bases are big for a youngster and he's been rubbing them and rutting himself up like crazy this year. He's an annoying, bleating, tear up the woods kinda so and so. Fun to watch but he doesn't help the bowhunting with all those antics. Anyway- that old Weaver scope just goes great with Dad's model 70- a perfect pairing. M "Inconceivable."

Hi Ridgerunner
Thanks for pointing out this sight. Thanks to my Dad I have almost as many Winchesters as I do Marlins.... he owned both, but really preferred the Winchesters. M "Inconceivable."

Thanks. I think the 22 Hornet and 257 Robts qualify as unusual calibers. Some would say rare even.
Great bunch of rifles. M "Inconceivable."

Beautiful rifle and rifles (Shrapnel). What I miss most from that era is not the firearms as much as the advertising that went with them. It was true artwork that made you want to get out and use the products. Today if there is any "artwork" it is a photograph and doesn't evoke any emotions--at least with me. Back then artwork was even used on ammo boxes. Is it lack of talent or imagination? Anyway great looking rifles that will always be classics.
