Any of the 700C's from the late 60's early 70's are extremely nice, in all respects. Have yet to see one that did not have exceptional finish on both wood and metal, and, produce better than decent groups.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
