Based on examples spanning quite a range of time I've fiddled with, I think the peak of things for the Model 70 are the five or six digit guns from the 1990s. The 1980s push feeds are some real sleepers as well. Anything after the trigger re-design is dead to me. That simple, rugged trigger is integral to the design of the Model 70. To me, anything with the travesty trigger is a Model 35, since it's about half the gun a real Model 70 is.
