The current production model 70 is excellent, perhaps the best quality model 70 ever, they are well built, and in my experience feed as smoothly as greased lightning and function flawlessly. The stocks are a bit chunky compared to a Dakota 76 or a good custom Mauser 98. But they are in my opinion a lot of rifle for the money. I’d like to get a featherweight model in 30-06, get it rebored to 9.3x62, and put some good iron sights on it (that would be an amazing rifle in my opinion). Maybe a stainless version and put it in a Wildcat composites stock....
