[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1914441, member: 97196"] The M70 is a nice rifle and I have had several, one for 43 years. I shot so many rounds through that rifle as a kid it had no business surviving. I learned to reload with it starting at age 14 with very little guidance and we are both still kicking (small miracle). I really like the recoil lug formed into the action but there is one drawback. If you ever want to customize it with a new stock your options are limited when compared to the 700. I think H-S and Bell and Carlson have a few options but a light carbon tactical stock is hard to find. If you plan on leaving it as-is it should be a great rifle for many years. If your accuracy is not where you want it you can always replace the barrel and tighten the twist rate for the 131 Blackjacks or hopefully some up and coming hunting specific 25 cal heavies [/QUOTE]
