I'd be surprised if the M70 won't shoot. Mine is a 270 Winchester and shoots the cheap 130 grain Federal Power Shoks very well. I think if you compare the way the M70 is built to how the T3 is built, you will see the M70 is the better rifle.

Here is a pic I found when I was breaking in the Extreme Weather.
