Thanks to all, both PM's and on this thread, for your input.
A recap for any contemplating the same...
The M70 Hunters Compact Edge with 670 bottom metal definitely holds 4-down. That's good.
Several here and in PM's that have had them mentioned they don't like how flat the bottom, sans bottom metal, is. Another who had one mentioned that aspect didn't bother him at all.
Two guys said they sold theirs because they missed the ability to clear the magazine from below.
Me, I prefer a blind magazine, having both types.
As to the flat bottom... can't say, other than my Kimber MT's seem just as flat, yet don't bother me at all. Should be fine for me.
Decisions...
