I just got a midway product arrival notification that these are available. I recently acquired a ZKK602 so I’m no longer in the market, but figured I’d pass it along here.

That’s encouraging!
 
Good to see! I’d like to pick one up for myself in the next two years or so, but I’ve heard very discouraging reviews out of the recently manufactured model 70’s.

Please elaborate. I’ve had a M70 .375 a few years ago, assembled in Portugal. It was quite nice.
 
375 Portugal very happy with it!
 
I was interested until I compared pricing. Seems Midway is quite a bit higher than most. I have time to wait but I want one!

I got mine with the production run 2 years ago. So far its a very solid rifle.

In April my local gun shop finally got the 416 Remington magnum Winchester mod 70 in that I ordered 2 1/2 years ago.

I handled a Portugal 416 Remington at our local gun shop last year and the fit and finish left a lot to be desired. I owned a BACO Utah model in 375 which I loved. Since sold it but somewhat regret the decision.
 
What I’ve heard, (Not seen in person) is that it’s very common with the new production M70’s to have rough muzzle crowns and rough machining marks. ‘23-current production is what I’m hearing.

I’ve seen it personally but only on stainless steel models in my experience.

Not arguing, just a data point. My 2018 model 70 is to my eye, flawless. Hopefully this run of them is well done.

Unfortunately, im in the middle of moving, so hopefully I can catch a .458 on the next run
 
Absolutely fantastic ! The Model 70 and the Ruger Hawkeye are two of the last remaining control round feed mass production rifles which offer large caliber chamberings for the sportsman of modest income. There’s technically one more- The Mauser Model 98 Magnum. But that one is significantly higher priced.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
