Nice piece of wood on it. Too bad it's an FN rifle. I prefer the old style trigger.

I have been wondering what the ones assembled in Portugal are like,.....that's good to here. The production of these rifles have been moved around so much over the past few years that it's hard to know what's the best one to get. This one is supposed to be 2 years old, so it should have been produced in Columbia South Carolina,.. right?? and I guess they are supposed to be a little better fit and finish than the New Haven produced guns..??

Yup, I hear ya Crow. I was thinking of getting the guy to meet with me at the range and we can inspect and shoot both guns. The only bad thing is, is right now the snow is to your ass. I would definitely like to know how the M70 shoots.

Ya ya,...I know,..lol,...but, you know how it goes,...if ya do it you kick your ass,..but if you don't do it you kick your ass, lol.
Long story short, I wish I had a spare $1000 kickin around,...that would solve my dilemma.

Model 70 all the way.
Hey HomeTownHero, where'd you buy your SG? The only one I could find in Saskatoon recently was a 7mm-08 at NorthPro.

I was wondering if there was something I could do to darken the checkering,....I was thinking a good oil rub,...I have never heard of Howards Feed and Wax. I don't care for the checkering being so light/dry,..I like checkering to be as dark or darker than the rest of the wood.

Ya I know,....If I do this trade it won't be done through the mail, it will be a hands on trade.
Maybe he is caught up in all the new modern styling and he's not so much of a traditionalist.

I use renaissance wax on all my guns. Pretty amazing stuff.
I was at Bass Pro last week, prowling around for gun powder and bullets, however noticed the two Super Grades on the rack. I asked one staff member for a look at the guns. I noticed that they were hand checkered but needed some TLC in the checkering. I guess that they come from the manufacture in that state. Howards feed and wax is a blend of oil and wax that's great on any wood surface.............. Prophet River Firearms sells it.
