Jewell makes a trigger for it. Positive ejection, and no ejector spring. Very solid and rigid with a built in recoil lug. Really, it is about perfect.

+ Controlled Round Feed
+ Mauser style extractor
+ 3-position safety

The Model 70 is as good as it gets.

I've used 700's for years but since I converted to a FN; I don't see myself going back. Few smith's can work on them compared to a 700, but if I was to choose a smith Chad Dixon would be one of the few that I would trust!

I have built a slew of tactical rifles using the FN actions. Great actions right out of the box.

I much prefer my FN SPR over my 700.

X-treme makes an awesome 2 stage trigger for them, and popular tactical stocks are readily available through Stockey's.

My 2012 M70 came with the Winchester MOA trigger. It is pretty good, much better than the X-Mark Pro my M700 came with. The machine work and design on my M70 is impressive. You get your money's worth.
