I am a pre'64 M70 aficionado and own several. That said, last November I bought an M70 featherweight super grade 7x57 here on the 'Fire. It was made in 2014 by FN BACO. IMO, except for the "MOA" trigger, it is every bit the equal of a pre '64. The action is super slick.
The trigger pulll is crisp and was easily adjusted to 3lbs. I simply don't like the enclosed, "tamper proof" complex triggers that come on many modern rifles, this one included. IMO, the previous "classic" and pre '64 triggers are the best triggers ever put into a hunting rifle. If you can live with the current "MOA" trigger, they are a fine rifle, IMO, the equal of a 'pre '64.
