Sam... Iffin I was you I would take the time to handle a Winchester 64 (or 64a). The developers took the time to re-design the for-end and IMHO it carries as good as anything held in my mitts.
If it reduces to a 64a be wary of the post 64 sintering issues.
I realize the model 64 is subjective in its design but still, something to consider.
