Anyone got a model 70 Super Grade? I've only ever handled one. It was a .338 and it had one of the slickest, smoothest actions I have ever found.

Have a prewar SG in '06. Rear ring was drilled (properly) for the SR base. With the 4X it's on the heavy side. But, yes, slick. But so is my 1934 G&H M-54 '06.

I have 5 modern Supergrades.
a .338 Win Mag from the 1990's and a matched set of four 22/250, 270, 300, 375.
They are beautiful, slick and smooth and truly 5 of the nicest rifles you could want.

I love mine. I may be rebarreling it but won't get rid of it.

I have both old and new super grades. Love them. My personal action of choice for all applications.

I had two, one a 90's manufacture in 7mm that I made into an STW. It had great wood, was a real shooter and the fitting looked like it got done by a retard with an axe.

The next one was about a year and a half ago. It was a 30-06 with impeccable fitting, wood that was dangerously close to plain and didn't shoot all that good with anything I put in it, factory or handloads. 2" was the best and that wasn't constant. Its one of the very few new rifles I ever took back to a dealer for a refund. That was too bad, I liked it.

I'm actually looking at another one, a nicely decked out new .264. I have a weak spot for M70s and walnut.

My experience has been w/ (2). My neighbor has a post 64 in 7 mag. I have a 2000's in 264 WM. the guns do not appear to be related. His is rather plain and weighs much less than mine. His shoots handloads 1 1/2 -2 Mine shoots factory ammo(bought for the brass) under an inch and handloads even better. I would consider another new one if I could get in a 300 H & H.

Just bought a M70 Sporter for my son for graduation and am completely impressed on first impressions only. Have yet to shoot it, but the action is very smooth without feeling loose, and the trigger although just a bit heavy for my taste breaks cleanly and doesn't feel bad at all.
I told my wife I'm tempted to get one just like his.

I've got 2... first is a 300 H&H from the late 1940's.. '48 I think... its very smooth... 2nd is a push feed .375 from the mid 1980's... there's a difference... ive stoned the push feed, and worked the bolt a few thousand times... it's better than it was.... I really think the pushfeed supergrades were just a wood upgrade... (my opinion only)...

Just took mine from the new FN factory in .300WM to RSA. A bit heavy, but it eats up the recoil. Very well balanced and with the 26" barrel you get good use of all the powder.

It was a little finicky in load development, but I've got loads for Nosler Partitions, Accubonds, TTSX and North Forks. I never did come across an accurate load with the A-Frames as much as I tried.

I used 200gr North Forks and killed a Gemsbok, Black Wildebeest and Eland with it. The rifle took a nasty fall mid-hunt (not going to bore you with the story) from the bakkie. We set up a water bottle at 160 yards to check the zero, split it right down the middle.

Love the rifle in spite of it's new scars to that very pretty wood.

i have one of the newer super grades from the fn factory in south carolina. mine is a 270 win, and have killed several deer, one elk, and a few hogs with it. fit, function, etc. are excellent. i would not hesitate to buy another if i felt the need.
