RE the model 70 not being used in modern competitive shooting. This is because the recieve of the model 70 is much more difficult to true up vs. the round receiver of a Remington or clone. If money was no object I believe you could make a model 70 shoot just as well. It just takes time and money.
I've used the exact same fixture to true a up a M70 that I've used to machine R700s. No difference in set up time either.
