[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1235306, member: 41359"] The Model 70 action is great. If your gunsmith told you that they are junk and not worth working on, I would find a new gunsmith. He is looking at easy work for the Rem action. Yes, not as many options as the Rem actions, but you can still get most of what you want. I have multiple M70 actions, all are great. One is a 7mm STW Laredo, and it is a tack driver. For triggers, you can have the factory one worked really well, mine is just under 3 lbs and it is silky smooth. Then you can look at Timney triggers for an aftermarket setup. For the box, I do not know of any aftermarket DBM that will work with the long stw's. I put in a Wyatt's box, and now I can set mine out to about 3.8" if needed. The action will need some work and the bottom metal changed to a 1 piece setup. For the barrel and the barnes, you will more than likely need a 1:8" twist as they are some long slugs. [/QUOTE]
