[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 995910, member: 30902"] There's nothing inherently wrong with the "Post 64 Action". Winchester was looking for ways to cut costs and decided to eliminate the claw extractor due to the added machining costs. Instead of boosting profits it dramatically impacted sales in a negative way and they pushed then for more cost cutting measures and then developed some problems with inconsistencies that resulted in inaccurate firearms. It was about business not about any inherent flaw in the action's design. If it shoots well for you that's all that matters. I own a pile of model 70's and the fact I won't own one that does not have the claw extractor is a matter of aesthetics alone. To me it's just not a M-70 without it. [/QUOTE]
