The pre 64 Model 70 was not called the Rifleman's Rifle for nothing...I still have 5 of the many I have owned over the past 40 years+...I have never had one fail me in the field...from Texas to the Arctic or California to Newfoundland..BobinNH has pretty much covered it regarding the grand ol' pre 64 Model 70...
in my opinion there is none better...
