IMO the status afforded Pre 64s is deserved because it was earned throughout the hunting fields of the world over an extended period of time.
However, from what I've read here, the newer ones are finished along with accuracy to a level that it would be unrealistic to say they are inferior.
Never thought about the trigger until I had an enclosed trigger not hold up to the weather and inattention on my part. At which time it became unsafe. Admittedly the blame is on me, however experience tells me the old style Model 70 trigger probably would have remained functional.
