Mike, the best of the best were the push feed Fwt. Models from the '80s...
Those PF M70's are a sleeper. Because the Pre-64 fans revolted so completely when the Post-64's came out, that gun has been maligned and it's really a good one. No one complains about other PF's, Wby, Rem, etc., even Savage, just the Post-64.
Every Post-64 I've had was very accurate, smooth functioning and about hiccup free. And, they have the three position safety people pay big bucks for on custom 700's and they have the New Haven trigger that so many seem to like.
Kinda squirrely why this is the case, but it is what it is and those guns are out there, waiting to be picked up for a song.
IMO.
