I shoot a Heavy Varmint in 223 and do have the occasional ejection issue with the case being dropped on top of the follower. I haven't figured out exactly what is causing it and as a varmint/bench rifle it is just a minor annoyance so I haven't pursued a cure strongly.
Original M70 trigger system-not the MOA of the new M70.
26 inch barrel measuring .870 at the muzzle, pretty much a straight taper. I believe it is a 9 twist but I have not tried anything heavier than a 60gr Vmax.
it shoots 40gr-60gr bullets very well.
Round bridges. Standard M70 mounts fit.
Mine weighs in at 11lb 4oz with a Weaver KT15 in Leupold rings and DD bases.
