Thanks- Mr. Remington-- bought the rifle Sat--has some SG characteristics, as per the stock-- made in 1950-195i-- but it has the earlier "clover leaf" style top tang, and a fine grained Monte Carlo stock, 22 LPI checkering, steel checkered and inletted butt plate, black plastic checkered grip cap and black forearm tip-- std. QD swivel studs-- However, the barrel is not set into the stock with a relief to the channel- you cannot fit a dollar bill into any clearance, because there is none. Before I set a scope on this .220 Swift M70, should I have the channel relieved and the stock acra-glassed, or just go ahead and mount the scope and run 4 or five boxes of Hornady or Norma factory loads through it and see what it does, both on paper and on splat targets- woodchucks, coyotes, fox, raccoon, etc-- the varmint group I love to shoot--RWTF
