Taking a little time out from shoveling snow to do some photo work. I thought many here might like to see another August Pachmayr rifle. The rifle is unmarked as to the maker or caliber. I'll start off this time by saying it's a 30-06, surprise surprise.

A Noske Scope & Mount which looks to be original to the rifle. The scope is Crystal clear with a single vertical tapered post. Anyone know what year Noske introduced a scope with both windage and elevation?

I am going to assume it is a take down from the configuration of what appear to be aluminum or polished steel plates in from of the receiver. Correct me if wrong; however if not, would like to see photos of the gun taken down. And close-up details of the mechanism, barrel, latch, etc. Please Oh yes ...... nice rifle

Is this rifle horizontal or vertical in the picture that you see, keep editing it but it keeps turning out vertical on my screen.

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).

This takedown system differs from from others in several ways.
The connecting plate on the action side is moved out so that the barrel sits in the trough when you're screwing the barrel in. Screws in and out very easily. The plates also have an over travel notch build into them so it cannot be overtightened. The sliding alinement pin at the bottom is very tight.
When together it's very tight and without movement. On the downside you can see the spiral wear marks on the barrel.
I removed the forend wood yesterday and it was a little scarey because it was so tight I was afraid I was going to snap the head of the screw off. It does not appear it's ever been removed since it left Pachmayr.

The little pin on top at the front of the sight is spring-loaded, when you push it down you can then slide the site insert out. break over, back to shoveling snow.
