The A5M that I had was not glass bedded.

That seems really light for torquing the crossbolts on the rings. Most of my rings are 45-60in/lbs

Is that an A3G?

The target was shot at 100yds with Creedmoor Sports 167g Lapua Match ammo

Here are pics from when I bought it a year ago. It was NOS (I way overpaid) and I put 40 rounds through it. I just don't shoot this enough. I have three other 308s. I also bought two additional 5 round mags for it.

I'd sell mine. It's awesome, I just have too many toys.

Did Lapua start a Salvador Dali line of brass?

Just to follow up. I decided not to use the Timney trigger I bought and went with the MCARBO spring. Installation was insanely easy, and the trigger has been significantly improved. It is crisp and light.

I looked at ernie the gunsmith's page and there were a number of different springs depending on what trigger weight you wanted. Which spring did you get from him?

I know. I have owned quite a few Pre 64 Model 70s and they all had great triggers.

Really? I have Timney triggers in all of my remington 700 action rifles, I like them a lot. How was the Timney disappointing?

Thanks. I will try that out before I install the Timney. I did contact Mcarbo. They list a spring kit for the M70 trigger, but when I emailed them, they said that they do not have anything that works. I even sent them copies of their customer reviews of their product, they responded with an...

I prefer a two stage for my ARs as well and love the trigger on my M1A. Single stage for the bolt guns. The trigger on my FN is over 5lbs, it is crisp though. All of my other rifles are set at 2.5. I bought a Timney for the FN, but I haven't installed it yet. I understand that the Model 70...

I have a 280 that I hunt with. It will work on anything. That being said, I also have a 300 Weatherby because I have read a number of hunting rags and second guessed my 280 (the 280 works just fine).

I can't find the article at the moment but the one I read stated that the new rifles would be firing rounds capable of 83K psi chamber pressure. I am sure that will really help with barrel life.
