*DAVID MILLER CUSTOM “CLASSIC” MODEL 70 BIG GAME RIFLE AND SCOPE.

*DAVID MILLER CUSTOM “CLASSIC” MODEL 70 BIG GAME RIFLE AND SCOPE. SN 406015. Cal. .375 H & H Magnum. David Miller is known for his high quality, precision made, performance hunting rifles, normally with little embellishment. This classically styled rifle is no exception. Using a pre-1964 Model 70 action as a base, a 24″ heavy sporter bbl was fitted. (Caliber and “David Miller Co” are engraved on right side.) Action tang was reshaped, bolt release button reworked and checkered, bolt body jeweled, and bolt knob refiled, leaving four raised checkered teardrop panels on knob with ivory circle inset in terminal lightening hole. Custom bottom metal with hinged floorplate and push-button detent opening lever lock was made and fitted. Nicely streaked and lightly figured European walnut full checkered steel capped pistol grip stock measures 14-1/8″ over solid red Pachmayr pad. Stock features cleanly sculpted comb flute, right hand shadow line cheekpiece, 2 action reinforcing pins, and cocobolo forend tip. Meticulously executed borderless point pattern wrap-around checkering at grip and forend is at approximately 20 LPI. Zeiss Diavari – ZA 1.5 – 6X scope with 3 heavy post and crosshair reticle is in custom made and fitted David Miller mount. Weight with scope: 10 lbs. 3 oz. LOP 14-1/8″. CONDITION: Excellent. Metal shows nearly all of its lovely satin rust blue, with some slight silvering at muzzle, and a few minor marks. Blue is thinning on trigger guard bow, and front of floorplate. Stock retains most of its orig finish, but shows considerable carrying wear, and is rubbed through in many places. Rubs and marks are mostly on left side, and around action. Bore is excellent. Action is crisp. Scope has a few minor marks, silvered on objective bell. Optics are clear. Very few of these fine rifles come to market. The “Classic” is Miller’s highest grade. 4-42608 MGM170 (15,000-20,000)
