Description:

 This is a very strange rifle indeed. Own it and I guarantee nobody else has one. This rifle must have been made by a master gunmaker - probably European in origin and after WWII. The reason I say this is as follows: first, the rifle sports a factory Model 70 barrel chambered in .22 hornet. The magazine box, floorplate, follower, etc. are all Model 70. The bolt appears to be Model 70. The front receiver ring appears to have been taked from a 1903 Springfield, and yet the rear of the receiver is all Model 70 all the way, including the bolt release, etc. Now, stock shape and dimensions are very Germanic. From the nice Neidner style checkered steel buttplate to the nicely formed schnabel forend and European style grip cap - the rifle looks like something Griffin & Howe would have done. It is a quality conversion all the way, and shoots very well with factory .22 Hornet ammo. Stock is nicely checkered walnut. Blue about 80-85% and a perfect bore and chamber. Rifle is fitted with a Sears 3-9 variable scope with fine crosshair (made by Weaver from the looks of it). A very unusual rifle to say the least.  OPEN 7 DAYS PER WEEK.
