[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 606673, member: 10291"] There was an inherent design issue in the early post 64 models for a couple of years that was corrected. The issue was the lack of a guide slot on the bolt that resulted in a sloppy bolt movement that was prone to bind, this was corrected. It is evidenced by the lack of a rail slot on the front of the bolt. Some shooters complain about the extractor on the push feed model, but I have never had an issue with it and like it better than the Remington design. I have owned several Model 70's over the years and have't never had any issues except for my own desire to free float the barrels if they weren't by the factory and check/fine tune the bedding. Accuracy was typically excellent and would equal or exceed my Remington 700's. [/QUOTE]
