    schultz and larsen m70

    Re: schultz and larsen m70 Good rifle. it was the first real .22 rifle i ever had. my first target. took a silver in the state games with it. they shoot real tight groups. use good match ammo and you will do just fine. I liked the way the stock was made. great for 3 P or even bench. rick
