I really like mine, in .30/06.

I read some interesting info last night about the model 70 along with several other manufacturers in the DANGEROUS GAME RIFLES by WIELAND ..

As to the model 70--had 3 --inherited 3 more in the last year.. 243, 270 (YIKES) , 7mm Rem, 300 H&H (pre-64), 416 and 458..last two being for FN heritage since the takeover..have never shot the 416 or 458..still sitting in the box they come in..

nice, Art.
I had an opportunity to buy one of several pre-64's in .300H&H and could not afford one. I got the .30/06 instead.
Kinda glad I did, but one of the .300's would have been fine, too.

That's bad luck, John. my 1936 M70's best so far for 5 shot groups are .560" with 165's @ 2,960fps and .640" with 180's @ 2,745fps - shot with
a Lyman 4X Perma Centre scope.
