Do you guys find your Model 70's like fore end pressure? So far everyone I have had strings horizontal even after I free float it. I have to bed the tip with a touch of pressure to tighten it up. Only talking a couple guns here. But I know others who have had the same experience. Drives me nuts I tell you.
On occasion I have run into this issue with the FW barrel; of my current Featherweights my 1953 M70FW in .308 WIN has the standard factory bedding, shoots great, on the other hand my 1963 M70FW in .270 WIN (Douglas barrel) needs about 10 lbs. of upward pressure glassed into the fore-end, shoots great now (that way only).
