It depends on the Model 70. In the '70s and '80s, Winchester made a rifle that they called the Model 70 that was a push-feed action, similar to the Rem700 or Savage 110. There was nothing particularly wrong with those rifles, but the purists didn't like them because they omitted the claw extractor. There was one point in the mid '90s where you could get Model 70s in both push feed and CRF actions. I had a buddy who wanted a 30-06 Featherweight and he obsessed at length over the choice. One local dealer had both varieties and I remember my buddy considering the choice for several weeks. He finally went with the claw extractor.
Nowadays, Model 70s are made by FN and as far as I know, they all have the claw extractor. I'm also told that they are very fine rifles.
