Couldn't this same argument be made against the pre-64 crowd in favor of a MRC or Kimber 84 action?

Seems to me those have all of the features that make the pre-64 M70 desireable plus a couple more?

I've always thought a pre-64 rifle (complete with enough "done to it" to make it less costly collector-wise) in 264 WM, 30-06, 338 WM, or 375 H&H would be FANTASTIC as a work-every-season rifle.

I don't collect rifles I hunt 'em so maybe some of this pre-64 stuff is lost on me.
