Excellent guns, both of them. For use, I'd be hard pressed which to choose. For collectability, the 70, hands down.

That is one nice Fwt 243. First year for the 243 too.
Period scope and all..although the rings don't look real 50ish..:-)
I have a '58 243 Fwt but mine has the plastic buttplate....aluminium is nicer....
