M70 7x57 Featherweight

[SJB358]

I have wanted one of these for years. I remember when they came out and then they only made 250 for Cabelas and 250 without the Cabelas stuff on it. I ended up grabbing the Cabelas version.

Has a couple knicks in the stock but otherwise decent.











Should be a fun one to get warmed up. I have a nice 6x S&B I believe will find its way on top.

The perfect rifle for hunting big WT deer in the woods and cedar swamps. Nice rifle for sure.

How can you go rong with a Model 70 CRF

 

[ShadeTree]

That's a darn good one and the stock on that one is very nice also. Good grab.

I do love my 7X57 Model 70. No doubt you will enjoy that rifle immensely, Scotty.

 

[Guy Miner]

Wow! Beautiful rifle chambered for a great old cartridge.

Enjoy!

The 7x57 is such a nice cartridge and in my book it doesn’t get any better than a nice Model 70. Great snag!

 

[Bruce Mc]

Nice rifle, I remember seeing them at cabelas.

 

[gerry]

Awesome, get it punched out to 280 AI and it will be perfect!

I kid, really nice rifle and the 7x57 has the cool factor off the charts.

 

[EOD Diver]

Scotty!
That’s a great find and congratulations!!! Are you thinking 140s or something heavier? Any way you slice it, that’s a dandy of a rifle!
V/R,

[AFG270]

Wow, very nice, Scotty!
What twist rate are those rifles? Some Hammers would be awesome in that rifle.

 

[6mm Remington]

140 gr. AccuBond and go hunt stuff! Really nice rifle Scotty!!

Looks like that tree has been busy lately , another nice grab.

 

[JD338]

Scotty,

You might be able to pop those dings out with a damp wash cloth and a clothes iron.
What bullet are you going to run? The 140 gr AB would be a dandy.

I'm currently running 150 gr. Nosler Partitions over 48.5 gr. RL17 for some really good velocity and accuracy. My M70 7x57 is the push feed XTR. IIRC, velocity is around 2850 FPS. For the record, I've been working with 7-08 data. Brass life has been good with seven times reloaded so far and primer pockets still tight.

Next round will be trials with the 160 gr. Speer Hot Cores as I have quite a few of those on hand.

Congratulations, awesome grab for you! There sure has been a bunch of nice rifles showing up here lately. Y’all are making some killer finds.

NEVER!!! It's prefect as is
