I've owned several M70's over the years.

Pre 64's and NH guns. No Baco guns, but I've owned A-bolts from the same era and have no complaints.

I've sold all the pre 64's. Still have 2 1980's NH Featherweights. A 270 and a 280. In fact I prefer them to anything pre 64 I've ever owned.

Been some really good M70's made since 1964. Some better than others. Too each their own.
