I bought a Buehler 1 pc. base mount on this from a gentleman on this site from TX- $70.00 fair price indeed. But I made a mistake, as we all do, and didn't specify if it was for a Pre-1964 M70 Long action, or a Short Action, as on the Featherweight series M70's in .243, etc. It won't quite fit on the 1952 M70 in .220Swift I now own. So, unless Mr. Buehler offers, along with the rings I also need for the 1" dia. Weaver V2x-9 scope I plan to use on this "woodchuck devastator", a scope base "extender", I have no present use for it.
Details:End flap on orignal period box is stamped--BUEHLER 1-piece MOUNTS BASE WIN M70 code- 70-s short. Pre 1963, as there is no Zip Code for Orinda, California-- With screws and original instructions, including Maynard's "pithy" note IF ALL ELSE FAILS-FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS Instructions for installing the Buehler Mount on undrilled receivers- 3 6-48 machine screws included and base is stamped BUEHELER Oinda Cal. 100% blue finish oal. I paid$70.00 for this, would like to get close to that if I sell it.
I may want a set of 2 pc. Buehler or Leupold bases for this same rifle, ditto 1" medium ht. matching rings. Please advise by return PMS on this website. RWTF
