Another nice rifle. I believe these were Italian made as kind of a spinoff of the Marlin M39.

Hard to tell for sure, but it appears to be the carbine with 20" barrel. They also made these in pairs with consecutive SNs.

Amen to that. My caption would be something like "don't shop for a dog after you've been drinking."

Has it been fired? Have the original boxes??

See my last reply

I already had one offer, but I'll be contemplating for a while. Obviously, I would go with the best offer, however. 😉

Actually could have been either "humanly TREATED veal" or "humanely TREATED veal." The first one would better describe a calf on a couch, of course.

I agree. It would be nice to get some of the money back. Just in draw fees, my points cost $250, plus I had added PG when it became available.

To clarify; You can use the BPs twice and or turn over the tag twice. BUT...you get your BPS back only on the first go-round and lose the cost of the tags on both.. IOW, you don't have to necessarily HUNT the 2nd time and can still give it to a charity org; you pay and no BPS again. The averaging deal is correct. If someone has 10 and use my 20 for elk, we would have 15 which would likely qualify for the bonus pass in a bunch of hunts.

Not bad. I'm waiting to post mine in case someone else is thinking along the same lines.

Still plenty of time for me to mull it over before the deadline. Maybe I'll just open up the bidding. 🤣

Put life back into this thread because I wanted to get this one posted....

I'm sitting on 20 elk and 17 pronghorn points but am no longer able to hunt. So now I have to decide whether I still want to continue buying BPs or just quit altogether, thus losing the loyalty point for each.

The reason I asked is because some eBay sellers sometimes procrastinate when it comes to getting something shipped in a timely manner. But yeah, even if shipped a week after you ordered them, two weeks for PM is ludicrous. The humorous thing is I buy some of my medications from an online pharmacy. They are shipped from India. I ordered some Dec. 2 and had them delivered to my door by USPS on Dec. 10. That time period included all the order processing, too.

That's the under statement of the day. 🤣 A friend who used to drive big rigs just told me he once had a USPS contract to transport mail from NJ to WI. On one trip he had exactly ONE bin with ONE envelope in the 53' trailer.

Were they actually shipped on 11/27, though??

I think he's a "rerun." Seems I recall him being considered when Sumlin was hired.

Well then make me an offer and one of you can be the new owner. 😎

I guess I missed this thread when it started. That is one beautiful M70. Someone needs to jump on this. I've owned the new model in .264 since 1965, though it no longer looks like the original. Mine has killed dozens of critters from javelina to moose.

Please add Leo to the list!

Now that's one great smile. Well done lad.
