I've got a bunch of current production Model 70's, and have been favorably impressed with all of them. The barrels have been universally good, as have the triggers. Actions are smooth, and all feed well.
I'd not be afraid of getting a 70 to shoot. It'll need bedding and probably a new crown, just like a Remington would, to reach it's full potential though.
The 270WSM is a pretty user friendly cartridge to get shooting. You'll be in good shape with a new Model 70.
