They cried a river in 1965. Now they make it better than ever and the crying goes on.

I’ve owned many M70’s of every genre. The only ones that gave me grief were the late model classics before NH closed up shop and the one Portugal made rifle. The best have been P-64’s, XTR’s from the late 80’s thru 90’s and SC made BACO’s. New trigger doesn’t bother me, I prefer the old style but my main hunting rifle is a SC Fwt 270 in a Micky Fwt stock, zero issues.

If I was to get Model 70 now it would be new Featherweight in .325WSM.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
