The Model 70 (pre 64 of course) has always been my favorite rifle. I had a 243, also had a 375 H&H for a short while. I gave the 243 to a cousin as I bought it from my Uncle probably 50 years ago. It was my aunts. I also bought his Model 88 in 308. Gave that to my cousins too as one day in conversation the mentioned them. I asked if they wanted to see them. They were very young, just old enough to remember them. Felt they were more entitled to them than I.

Dad: Say something nice to your cousin Shirley
Dietrich: For a fat girl you sure don't sweat much.
Cue sound of Head slap.
