I am wondering how the average accuracy on these guns are now that they are being made by FN? I owned a New Haven super grade that was not quite a tack driver and ended up selling it. I have always liked the fit and finish to these rifles but was left with a bad taste in my mouth with the last one. I would love to hear some real life accuracy experiences. thank you

Nice shooting. I'd be happy with that. Hopefully that is the norm.

.243 varmint coyote suppressor ready circa 2012. The final touches on the rebuild are being completed now. This is the original barrel/caliber. It will shortly be .243AI.

All of the Model 70s I have a capable of shooting 1 MOA or better. The last four are .243 Winchester. I almost got a 6mm Remington caliber in a Model 70 but backed off as I no longer reload.
