SNAP: Really appreciate your post with the extensive experience you've had with your old 70s. Sounds to me like the perfect 2 gun combination for anything in north america. Interesting you mention the Ed LaPour flanged bolt sleeves. I contacted him recently about one and he said he was out of stock and wouldn't be running any more this year. I hear a small number of gun writers talk about this design error on the old 70s but I've never had any bad experience with the many I shoot and hunt with. What is your experience with this? I've only blown one primer from an old 70 and I never knew it happened until I extracted the case and saw it. Thanks again.
