I posted this on another site in a similar thread.
My latest two of several FN M70's were both Portuguese .308 Extreme Weathers. Neither would hold a respectable group with any of several types of bullets. One was returned for the other, and then the second was returned for a refund, so the customer service was pretty good. That said I really don't know if my issues were caused by slipping standards for the Portuguese guns, a bad batch of .308 EW barrels, or even just two rare lemons coinciding at just the right time. That's the problem with small sample sizes. I will say that the ultralight B&C stock that is shipping on the current EWs is much more shapely and lighter than the older B&C stock that came on my previous SC built EW, a definite improvement..
All of that said, i've had good luck with an earlier M70 EW, an M70 Ultimate Shadow SS, and a TSR. I'm sure I'll have another M70 at some point, there are two lightly used EW's on GB with start prices at $750 that sure are tempting.
