Rev: In 1962 my dad told me he would buy me my own deer rifle. He and Mom had M70s. I did some research and told him I wanted a M70 FWT in 30/06. The guy at the Gun shop convinced him that M 70 quality was going down and Remingtons brand new M 700 was far superior. So I got a 30/06 M700 with a 20” barrel that kicked like a mule. But I recall the same conversations that the “new” M70s weren’t really M70s and should be given a different name.
the more things change...
