My first M-70 was a 1973 standard grade in 30-06. It was a very accurate dependable rifle and I carried it through a lot of adventures, it took many moose and deer. Sold that one and replaced it with the following expanded collection of M-70's CRF despite there being absolutely no issues with a push feed.

243 - featherweight

30-06 Super Grade 70 anniversary

300 H&H pre 64 standard grade

375 H&H Alaskan

The stock on the Alaskan I stripped and added an ebony tip a grip cap recut the checkering and refinished it, looks much better now. The 300 will get the same treatment this winter to look exactly the same as it's big brother.

They all get used every fall, I don't own a gun that doesn't get used and blooded. There are many makes of fine rifles but personally I like the M-70's.

I'm considering having the bottom metal media blasted, but I feel like the aluminum won't match the stainless.

I’d take a pushfeed model 70 over a pre 64 any day.

Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money.

I have a late 70's production Mod 70 Westerner that I hunted hard with (.270 Win). It made many,many 1 shot kills over 30 years. I had walnut, Ramline and finally Boyds Prairie Hunter stocks on it, added a hinged floor plate, a variety of scopes as my hunting styles varied between hounds, still hunting and stands. I always stuck with the simple, adjustable original trigger which always provided an excellent pull.
I bought one of the new featherweight Model 70's in .270 Win so I had my original re-barreled with a Benchmark tube in .257 AI.
Love that Model 70 safety and the pre-"box" trigger.

If you are talking accuracy only. I had a PF model 70 years ago in .308win that is still to this day the most accurate rifle I ever owned in a caliber above 223 rem. Not secifically a well made gun, but it shot the lights out with every weight bullet but 180gr X bullets. It hated those..

Had an XTR varmint in .22-250 and an XTR sporter .300wby. Both were great shooters.
