In many many years of frequenting LGS in my area, I have seen a grand total of 5 M70s, 3 featherweights, a super grade and an XTR. That is in 40 years of shopping/looking. Not sure why.
I’ll look harder at the M70
It's popular enough that they aren't on the shelves for very long most likely.
I've never been fascinated with the O'Connor darling, but have with the. 25-06. In all the animals don't seem to tell any difference. With that said I still kept a .270 in the accumulation, and it gets used on occasion by family. Not a bad choice, there's a reason it's stuck around.
