I've got a friend (member of this forum actually) who purchased one of the new m-70's in 30'06. Also had problems with it grouping (2-3'' at 100yrds on average!). Finally, had it recrowned, and that took care of the problem. Talked with some others, and apparently they had the same problem, which recrowning solved. Looks like some of the FN M-70's coming out of the Utah factory are having a problem with the crowns. Hard to believe, since my FN-PBR is basically an identical rifle, and shoots .5moa groups all day long. However, it came from their east coast factory. Hopefully they will figure this out soon, since it looks to be a really great system if they can get their QC up to snuff.
TX Hog Hunter, have you tried having that M-70 recrowned? I wonder if that's the problem.
I do like the new trigger group (though don't see the need to replace the old). Looks like a solid setup.
