The M70 (Mauser 98) comes with a 3 way adjustable trigger, functional iron sights, proven Mauser 98 reliability, and strength, and a walnut stock.

The length of pull is quite long(lotsa room for adjustment), and the recoil pad is a left over hockey puck.

I put an equal amount of effort and time into my left hand, yes they come in a left hand model, 30-06, a skim bed of the recoil lug and tang area, a tune up on the trigger. Cut the stock to my LOP, and fitted both a 1" and a 0.6" decellerator recoil pads. Groups were a bit tighter than average with stand by recipes with 150's, 165's, and 180's. I settled on 165 Sierra's and H4350, yielding 2780fps, from the 22" bbl.




I'd buy another if the urge hits me.
