It pains me to sell this rifle but I have an opportunity to purchase a left handed model 70 that doesn’t happen every day. This thing will most likely collect dust afterwards and I’d rather see someone else enjoy it.

Round top pre warning MK1 chambered in .270 Winchester, it’s wearing the factory Ruger open sights. This rifle has exceptional wood for an old tang safety, while it’s not exhibition grade it does have some good feather and figure in the grain. I stripped off the factory varnish and finished it with a hand rubbed tung oil finish which really complimented the grain.

The scope is a Leupold 2.5-8x36 Vari X iii from the early 2000’s in Talley rings and bases. The rings are lapped, stock has been skim bedded by previous owner, it also has a Rifle Basix RU-T sear which gave the trigger a much better feel and breaks right at about 3lbs.

This rifle will shoot about an inch with most 130 grain projectiles but tends to like factory Barnes 130 grain TTSX and factory Nosler 150 grain Accubonds. There is very little if any blemishes to the stock, bluing, or scope. It weighs 8.25 lbs on my scale with sling. Sling is not included. I will not separate the scope please do not ask. I can’t remember offhand how much 270 ammo I have with it but I’ll include that as well (about 5-7 boxes of nosler and Barnes IIRC)

$1000 and you’ll be the second coming of Jack O’Connor. Price includes shipping in a hard case. I have Venmo, Zelle and Cash app, I’m a business owner and am setup to take credit cards for a more secure transaction. I live in central Washington and regularly travel the entire state, i90 east to about Bozeman, and dip into Boise occasionally if you’d prefer to do an in person transaction or in person dealer transfer depending on local laws. Pm me for any inquiries or additional questions.

Nice looking rifle. What LH Model 70 are you looking at? GLWS

There’s a classic sporter in 30-06 on GB right now… I’ve been looking for one for a long time but it’s always been 7mm & 338 magnums that pop up for the most part.
 
Those LH 30-06 and 270 are hard to find in Model 70s, hope the auction works out for you. I took my LH M70 in 30-06 to Zimbabwe this year and it preformed wonderfully.
 
No longer available. I spotted an ever elusive left hand Stainless Laminate Hawkeye in 25-06 on GB and the seller was willing to make a trade . A guy had been searching for that exact rifle for months! Thanks for everyone’s interest!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
