Kevin Weaver is another excellent M70 gunsmith.

Thanks. Reloads, around 1/34"-2" now (with the 308), Burris ffII, Talley.....all good on that front.

Kept hearing how well those Tikkas shot and ended up getting one not long ago. Figured this would be a good time to put myself back in check or not (wasn't really necessary as I got a few that are pretty close to bug hole shooters, but , what the hey)
We'll sure enough, tiny groups immediately.
Dang I hate that! Almost wished it was me beings I love these 70s so much. Grew up with them.
Anyway, I'm not done with these last two (the other sg is a 6.5 cm just got this summer)
Not going to buy anymore but will get these two lined out eventually.
Gonna stop wasting valuable primers, bullet, powder combos on them though and probably pick up a 308 Tikka in the meanwhile - as this last one in 6.5 cm kinda spoiled me with tiny groups. 🤔
If something doesn't materialize on getting these fixed I'll go back to the drawing board late winter and try to get some feedback from you guys as I dig in
Appreciate the responses.
