That is NOT one of the 64'-69' guns everyone despises. It's actually a pretty good gun. A friend of mine has one in 300 win mag he's been hunting with for years. This gun you mentioned will have a smooth push feed bolt. I'd keep my eyes open for pre 64's if I wanted a M70. You know a lot of the older collectors who appreciate pre64's are not with us anymore. Whenever that starts happening prices drop. Remember model T's? They used to be 3x as valuable as they are now. Until those who had one when they were a kid started passing away. In the next 5 years I'd expect to see some deals on pre 64's, especially with most young shooters drooling over the characterless AR's and AK's(and I carried an M16 in the service I know exactly what they can do).
