Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Model 70 vs 84M

The M70 French Whorehouse stock is what makes me throw up in my mouth.

x2 the Fleur d' Gay checkering looks cheap. In a wood stocked rifle, I look elsewhere.

This deer doesn't look embarrassed at all with the "french whorehouse" stock.

Well, the deer is dead...

I own an 84M, a SS Classic Featherweight and a 70 EW. My tastes lean toward SS/synthetic and I'd take the EW over either. The fluted barrel of the EW helps reduce weight some without giving up the accuracy you lose with the pencil thin barrels of the other 2. It isn't quite as light as the 84, but will weigh the same as a FWT. And is more accurate with a wider range of loads. In my experience the thin barrels CAN be fairly accurate, but usually with only certain loads.

The Kimber would be my 2nd choice. Barrel contour is the same as the FWT, which isn't really light. The Kimber is. The FWT is the same weight as all other manufacturers standard weight rifle, but it comes with a pencil thin barrel.

Stock design is not that big of a deal to me. I can live with the FWT stock, or without it.

Yup,and killed with a "french whorehouse" stock.

Taking this "french whorehouse" stocked Featherweight deer hunting this fall. It has a Leupold 6x on now.











A 130 gr Sierra P.H. at 3100 fps will get it done,if I do my part.

That the dead can't be embarrassed was the point...

The deer did see me before I killed it.

Maybe he scoffed at the look of the French whorehouse stock, thinking that thing looks so frilly it won't hurt me...

EMBRACE YOUR INNER WHORE!

The deer was chuckling when I lowered the boom.

LMAO.. That's funny..

The living should be embarrassed for the dead... I believe Aristotle said that.

Never worried about what Aristotle said.

Aristotle is dead.


He never even got the chance to own a BACO Win 70 Featherweight!



If he had...his whole philosophy would have changed......

The Kimbers have one up-ed the M70 if your going to carry the rifle.

For hunting where I don't have to walk far my battery of M70's and mausers work well too.

A rifle I got recently is now ready. It's a pre 64 70 with a 300 Win mag barrel. It wears a 3-9 Conquest now.

On it's last trip to the range it put it's first shot from a cold barrel 1.5" to the right at 200 yds. The second confirming shot hit the bull 1.5" away!

It's the rifle in the bottom of this picture.

That settles it then.

Don checked in....says the Kimber is the way to go.



Get your order in on an M70!
