[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2643788, member: 103947"] The older M70 LR versions were excellent shooters. Not sure what year your speaking of. Not familiar with the new LR versions. I didn't feel they were anymore front heavy than any other 26" paint barreled rifles. I have a 1984 version of the LR M70 and it's a fantastic rifle accuracy wise. I haven't shot it in almost as old as it is but it's a tack driver. Probably been 1990 since it's been at the range or in the field. Mine I believe was manufactured under the Olin Corp. Not pre 64 but IMO one of the best versions made prior to FN taking over. Can't speak to the Portuguese models currently made but have heard good and bad from owners of earlier made M70 rifles [/QUOTE]
