Long action ADL smear stock on gunbroker.

5-6 years ago a smear for a model 70 sold in the PX for $300......I didn't have the money and posted the link at M40 rifle and someone promptly bought it.

Still hate myself.
If I hadn’t just built an M40ish .30-06, I would be all over this myself. Keep an eye on it. Auctions not over til the 16th. Plenty of time to think.
 
Waiting on this one......


Probably be the last of my gun buys.

I didn’t want to put this in your thread, but since we are talking about it, here is my M40ish detmag .308:

PTG w/AICS mags. Functions perfectly but I would not do it again.

Great looking rifle.

What is the reason for what seems to be regret?

Looks like a great hunting rifle yet for hunting I may want a flush mag. Thats the beauty of the LRI metal - flush or DBM box.
 
Thanks! It shoots great. 3/8” with FGMM or my equivalent handload. That’s the reason. I’d rather have a flush mag.
