I own both Stainless Classics and Pre '64 rifles. I am not disappointed in the way the Classic actions feel. Perhaps I am not discriminating enough and am missing something. Care to elaborate?


For myself (others may choose to differ!) the pre 64s feed much better/smoother, the safeties have been smoother/quieter, and when the actions close they "feel" like a good mauser/fn/bank vault (as opposed to a bolt inside a piece of pipe!). I tried to like the FN manufactured model 70s also but never did warm up to them (though the couple I had shot very well).
