My Model 70 was built by Larry Racine in New Hampshire. He was on the Palma Team twice. By the time I got it it had been shot down enough so Palma wasn't gonna happen any more. It still worked good to 600 though. Just not tight enough for national level Palma. I shot it XTC for a few years. Smoothest bolt action rifle I've ever shot. Just recently rebarreled it to 6.5 Creedmore. Going to use it Mid Range prone. I might have to put a scope on it because my old eyes suck.

Larry does nice work, doesn't he? I've got another bunch of "machine parts" to send off to him for "assembly." :)

Yes he does. The Smith I use down here in NC was very impressed with his work. I kept the old barrel. If I can get another pre '64 action I might build a reduced course

gun. Of course that would have to go as machine parts to NH to get the same smooth action.
