There's nothing to complain about. A new model 70 is an outstanding rifle. Now look at a new Marlin 336 and compare what Remingtons done to it. They've weakened the receiver to the point where major gunsmiths refuse to rechamber them to more potent cartridges, they're not properly heat treating the carriers and action screws, they have all kinds of trouble screwing barrels in straight, and the wood and checkering are poor. Winchester has none of this going on. The model 70 is as good as ever.
Yep. The FN made Model 70s are darn good rifles.
I heard the the early Remlins were pathetic, but I have read that things have improved. Bummer is that is not the case. Luckily there are an abundance of JMs out there.
