[QUOTE="brentc, post: 576727, member: 16938"] I've seen issues with the QC of new Haven Winchesters as well. But the FN made M70 is a completely different animal. Last year I put aside all my angst against Winchester and purchased an FN made Extreme Weather in 300 WSM. I was drawn to this rifle due to the CRF action bedded into an aluminum blocked Bell and Carlson stock. I started by doing minimal work on the trigger and mounted a Zeiss 4.4-14 in Timney lightweights and went to work. I've worked up several 1/2 MOA loads with different bullets and combinations. For a pack rifle this combo is hard to beat. The only con is the MOA trigger. I wasn't able to adjust it to my liking, but with Ernie's lighter weight spring and the adjustment screw backed out it's acceptable. Timney has said they will have a replacement trigger for the new Win. MOA trigger in the coming year. [/QUOTE]
