Op- had that same M70 syn carbine 7/08 and neck shot a Mule Deer about 110 yds in CO years back w a 139 handloaded at 2850 via Varget. It was a handy fast hand handling killer! Dropped a deer on the run about the same distance in timber in La - and used a similarly FWT deluxe in 7/08 on other kills. Those carbines balanced better than M7's IMHO.
