Here's to hoping I get my allowance by then so I can pay him! You can always go to the blood bank and sell some blood....If you start now, you may even be able to hit it a couple of times before the build is finished.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Dongcatcher223 could fall in a pool filled with custom rifles and he’d come up clutching onto a Rem 710 for dear life!

Yeah, trigger has been the schidt show on this.
Lee (Redneck) did a good job stoning it and built up a pad on the stock to prevent play, but it still has enough movement that it moves from side to side and creates play if I adjust it below 1.5 lbs. It is a great feeling hunting trigger, but as far as a varmint trigger, leaves a bit to be desired.
If you have lateral play in a M70 trigger it needs to be re-pinned. That will also make adjusting your trigger more precise, more crisp.

Sierra claims the Blitz will kaboom, and the Blitzking were the solution. I blew up Blitzkings though, so there goes that theory. 55's and up were fine. Just a bad combo of speed and twist. I've pushed 40's at 4200fps from a 22-250AI with no issue, but it was 12 twist.

My bet is the Hornady’s will hold up until the throat starts going to schidt.
If that’s the case, Shaen will get to put another on.

Well, this one is back from Shaen. Shoots killer and new trigger pin is skookum. 10x FF 75 ELD’s went under an inch. Will try out some 40 vmax in formed cases next week if time permits. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RZXgcZjH/854-F476-C-0-DD0-4710-8-A87-283-DBE170-CAE.jpg)

I bet if more guys did it they wouldn’t be so quick to replace M70 triggers. With it pulling true the weight and pull can be really tuned in nicely.

It certainly is a good trigger, maybe even great. But dangit if it was a Rem 700, Shaen wouldn't have had to listen to me beg.
Push feed M70 with a 700 trigger would not suck.
Maybe I'll go into business..... LOL
