I'm sure I'll be run out of town for this, but I just have to say I'm not sure how much better a M70 could be than my EW in 30-06. The action is ridiculously smooth, shoots anything into little bitty clusters. The factory stock needs a little improvement. Now resides in an Edge.
I've not owned a pre-64 since I couldn't afford them years ago, so went to Mark X's, then a few Remingtons and onto M70's when CRF resurfaced.
P.S. I'm not a heathen. Nomex suit in place.
