It's rumored there were a few SS Ultimate Classic M70's from the custom shop in 223Rem but I've never seen one nor heard of anyone directly that has one or has seen one.
I'd love to have a Custom Shop SS Ultimate Classic M70 Fwt w/octagon bbl but I'd never actually spend the $$ to buy one if I did find it. I’ve never seen a 223 either. Have you seen a fwt with an octagon barrel? The ones I have seen were not fwt. Supposedly those octagon barrels were made by Badger. No, I haven’t seen an Oct FWT. I suspect they’d have made one when the Custom-Shop was up and running though.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

I had my unicorn once and hunted with it, killed a big doe, sold it.
It was a Marlin 336 exclusive to K Mart, model 30TK.
I sometimes wish I’d kept that one. Very handy carbine that I had a 2-7 Redfield Revolution on top.

It's interesting how the "rumors" from different custom shops abound. When I worked in a gun shop in the late 90's the "rumor" was that all of the M70 "Heavy Varmint" and Custom Shop rifles were equipped with Schneider barrels. The same period rumors about Rem 40X and custom shop rifles was that they had Hart barrels. I can say with 100% certainty that I'm not sure if either rumor is true. If my mental rolodex isn't too rusty, I believe that Weatherby Accuracy-Mark rifles of that era were advertised as having Krieger Criterion barrels right in the Weatherby brochure.

I am fortunate, or perhaps persistent, since I have owned every grail gun that I truly desired. More often than not they just turned out to be a "want" and went down the road. What is odd though is that most of my keepers (using firearms) weren't grail guns but were ones that I had just acquired for one reason or the other and they ended up staying.

I can say with 100% certainty that I'm not sure if either rumor is true. The Schneider rumor is possibly true; or at least repeated enough to have become so on the net. I can say definitively that the custom sharpshooter and custom sporting sharpshooter from that era DID have Schneider barrels. Another “rumor” from a trusted source is that the early stainless pushfeeds used either lilja or Krieger blanks … I won’t finger the member but he’s welcome to chime in on that one. This talk above reminds me of another unicorn I’ve never verified - full stainless custom sporting sharpshooter in 7 STW.
