My 2008 700 in 308 is a mirror image of my 77 model 700 in 308. They both shoot very well also.
My memory of 70s 700s is much different than a 2008. Slimmer/trimmer, safety locking the bolt, don't think they had recoil pads in the 70s. Just a plate.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
