The pre-64 M70 felt nice, but it suffered from 2 serious flaws:

1. Poor gas handling in the event of a ruptured case. Burning powder shot back through the rails into the shooter's eye.

2. Brittle receivers. Many cracked and were warranties by Winchester.

However, the workmanship on the newer CRF Win M70 is quite poor.

Therefore neither is the holy grail.

Instead, I would suggest that the holy grail of bolt rifles is :

(a) a Granite Mountain Arms magnum Mauser action finished by a best quality riflemaker

(b) a Karl Heinz Ritterbusch custom Mauser rifle,

(c) a Gottfried Prechtl custom Mauser rifle

(d) a Hartmann & Weiss custom Mauser rifle.
