I have an X-Bolt Hunter in 270 Winchester that shoots several 130 grain and 140 grain loads under an inch. The rifle fits me great and is pleasureable to shoot.
The only new Model 70 I have experience with is the Extreme Weather(synthetic stock/stainless steel). I love the look and feel of the rifle but the trigger seemed a tad heavy to me and the safety lever was very stiff.
I don't think you'd go wrong with either.
