Timney Trigger for FN Winchester M70
The new MOA trigger in the Model 70 is a dud.
I'm hoping that anyone looking to upgrade the trigger will go to Timney and cast a vote for them to make a trigger for the Model 70 produced by FN.
Here is a link to the voting site.

I own 2 of the fn model 70 and I really like the trigger on them.If you want to reduce the trigger pull weight you should try one of these http://www.erniethegunsmith.com/catalog/c13_p1.html I didn't try it but I heard good comment.

I have two of them. Both are the Extreme Weather models. One is .30-06 and the other is 300 WM.
Lets see for starters they can't lightened enough. Already tried an after market spring (I installed it) and had one smithed. The smithed trigger is significantly better that the spring swapped one. For seconds the trigger is very sensitive to finger placement. So much so that I can pull the trigger many times in a row and there will be a couple of different series that require more pull than others.
I just want to put this out there. If there was an after market option available I probably would still gripe but it would have been short lived.
If you've ever felt a properly smithed original Winchester M70 trigger you'd be shocked to think that they just didn't put that in this rifle. I know I'm shocked.

What do you mean about the bottom metal on the B&C? You mean the one piece or the aluminum or both?
