do you guys know if the articles about the model 70 triggers are for the newer guns FN is making?  I read something about the new one i got that has an allen head screw in front of the trigger but it will only go down to 3 pounds.  its set at 3.5 stock and it feels like crap to me cuz all my guns are set about 1.5 to 2 lbs.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I'm supprised, I have shot 2 of the new Model 70's now with the MOA trigger.  I have to say its one of the nicest feeling factory stock triggers I have shot in a long time.  The 2:1 mechanical advantage and the wider trigger make it feel much lighter than the 3.5 pounds I was pulling.  No creep or overtravel whatsoever as far as I could feel.  I was also impressed with the fit and finish on the rifle.  It reminder me more of the older Win's in quality.  I don't own one "yet" but once the lap firing is done I hope to get some more trigger time on these guns to see how the accuracy is.  If its as good as I hope, I see one or two in my future.

I should note both were the extreme weather with the Bell and Carlson sythetic stock.  One in 270 wsm and the other in 243.

i have the 243 in extreme weather.  I like it so far.  The trigger does feel awesome but it feels like i have to put way too much pressure on it than what i am used to. I believe i'm going to do some shooting today so i will shoot it again.  I'll try adjusting it down to 3lb and see if that helps.

Let me know what you think on the accuracy of the gun.  My buddies are getting pissy that I keep bugging them about getting the lap fire done so I can shoot some groups with there guns ;)

sorry. went shooting with the neighbors and they just wanted to go plinkin so we just shot 22's and the pistols.  Found a bloated cow in the log jam at the river to shoot at.......that was awesome.
anyway....didn't get to sit down and shoot the 243 at a target  but i did take the trigger out and there was not the allen head to adjust it as the manual says there is.  looks like i might have to take it in to have the poundage dropped.  or buy an aftermarket.  anyone done this with a newer M70? :dunno:

I can't find anything online except that you have to remove the action from the stock to do the adjustments.  It also said there was a section in the owners manual on how to do the adjustments.  I'll dig into one of my buddies guns and look but it won't be until this friday before I can get ahold of one.
