Grand uncle of mine , now dead. Bill morrison formerly of bradford maine. Did the work on my trigger, barely honed the sears and trimmed almost 3/4ths of 1 turn on the coil spring, took him about 25- 30 minutes to do, while i watched. Passed bolt slam test and bounce test on the butt. Breaks like christmas ornament glass, several people have shot it over the years and have liked it. It is right around 18 ounces. The model 70 trigger is pretty good to say the least.
