My 30 Express and Remington 720 are both good shooters and represent the same workmanship and quality of prewar Winchesters for a lot less money. I actually prefer the action of the Remingtons from the strength and safety standpoint; although the Win. M70 has it as far as looks go. Even if the bore is bad it would be worth $300 as a rebarreling or reboring (think .35 Whelen) project.
