So I have come into ownership of a pretty plain post-64 model 70 .30-.06. I planned on using it as my deer rifle due to the OMFG increase in price of .284 ammo. Anyhow I sighted this model 70 in and it STOMPED my butt, it does not have a pad and I plan on having one added. This gun is in good shape maybe 75-80% being plain and a post 64 how badly would the value be affected? as it is Right now its worthless. I have shot many guns and several large guns, but this thing hurt me as bad as I can remember ever hurting.

You are not going to hurt the value of a post-63 Model 70 by having a recoil pad professionally installed.

I was just wondering about how many shots you are going to need to get your deer that the cost of 284 ammo comes into play? Confused

well, being that was not my question I will respond. We get 5 tags a year, and shoot hogs at the same time. Plus shooting it per-season that puts you at a box. at 85$ a box, I’m out. This rifle however cost me nothing due to coming from my fathers cull pile. I’m sure I could source some cheaper ammo but why when this is here now?

 

BTW thanks Bert for you always helpful direction and knowledge.
