After the good advice, I settled on the M70... was at Cabelas in Lacey Washington. They had told me it was a "Safari Express" when I had called over the phone. When I got there, it turned out to be a M70 controled feed "Super Express"... not a mark on it, and a great stock. Cabelas also had a new Safari express on the shelf, and I compared... the Super Express has a little bit better fit/finish and better wood. I think I am a happy camper. Serial number is G166552. Tried to look up the year, but couldn't find anything online that does the trick. Now on to buying some brass and dies, and the fun will begin!
