Glad this thread returned. I bought a stainless synthetic M70 in 9.3x62 month ago. Still awaiting my license so I can pick it up. The barrel seemed to be very lean. Seems the rifle goes a bit under 7#. I am going to finish it off with a High Tech Specialties stock, Talley Lightweights and likely throw a 2-7X VXII on it. Should be a nice light thumper that will be what I use on my 2016 brown bear hunt.
