    If that is a Long action Win 70, with a short magazine... you have one of the slickest and fastest rifles ever made in 222/223.
    Long action, short magazine Win 70s where heavily used in competition because of that. Short and super fast bolt manipulation and nearly impossible to bind up.

    Bomb proof trigger is major plus.

    Yep I know But I still dont like the pattern of the checkering! One has nothing to do with the other

    better than the basic lightweight M70 that came out the same time. Featherweight style stock is usually darker and looks far less agricultural.
    Got a Lightweight 70 243 albut identical to the one @dannyb had. always liked the featherweight stock better

    Ruger No1 30-06

    So deleted previous post with double up photos. American walnut. Rediscovered the NECG aperture sight which is a neat bit of kit, but Leupy 4x fits well too, eye relief a bit of a stretch.Name: 9BF4C15D-8DA0-4672-90AD-97D09A162A13.jpeg Views: 917 Size: 2.09 MBName: DAD97054-E2D1-4EC8-B6F3-C50ADF80F343.jpeg Views: 717 Size: 1.76 MBName: 3782BDE9-4337-4779-A62C-A0D89962EFA0.jpeg Views: 728 Size: 1.40 MBName: DB8E201A-254E-4AED-A62C-C31449564FE4.jpeg Views: 721 Size: 1.54 MB

    You can get an extended base to move the scope a bit further back

    Ahh, but then the objective bell would touch folding rear sight. I’m a bit of a ‘stock crawler’ and the Leupy has just enough eye relief. It ain’t broke...If it was an issue a straight tube scope eg 1.5-5x would be a option. But the 4x just seems right. Charlie
