went browsing YouTube the other day and ran across an add for a Model 70 Winchester. Now it's be worth mentioning I am a big fan of Mauser rifles. the action reminded me strongly of my old Gewehr 98( sadly sporterized by the time I found her) and from the looks it seems like just my kind of rifle. BUT here is the question: are the pre 1964 model 70's that much better than the new ones ? and why do I keep seeing that date beng used as a gauge of quality? Are the recent made ones still a good, reliable purchase? Any opinions& comments greatly appreciated.
