1948-- My late father bought a M70 SG in .270 Win (thank you Jack O'Connor) with a Noske 4x scope with separate windage and elevation adjustments- later on he replaced it with a Weaver 6x, and after it came to me in 1981- I replaced the Weaver with a Leupold Vari-X- which it still wears- with Federal fusion 140 grainers- deadly on pronghorns to 450 yards (est'd).
