M70 Win .20PPC spotlighting rifle? Yay or nay?

Well the urge for a new build is coming on.. :crazy: Despite not using my existing rifles enough. :thumbsdown: I want to build on my M70 featherweight since it won’t shoot worth a damn. And i was considering a .20PPC but the ppc has a weird russian .445 boltface that may or may not work with the .473 boltface my M70 has so leaning towards the .20BR now. I really just want a .204r which is why i like the PPC since is has a very similar capacity to the .204 where the BR is just shy of .22-250 capacity and i think way more than is useful in a .20 cal. I could just buy a howa mini .204 cheaper but then my dud of a M70 would still be wasting space in my safe. What say you all? :unknown:

a friend built a 20 dasher that shoots dots all day, a 20 br may be a little easier on barrels though

20 br is deadly if you can put it together on that M70 action....and I honestly think it's got the goods on a 204.

Just my opinion for what it's worth
