I just checked mine from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It has a light first stage, a slightly heavier creep and then stops on an even heavier release. It’s pretty bad but not something I want to spend the time on. It’s still in the cosmoline.
I prefer a two stage trigger for target rifles and my son hates them for some reason.
One of the Carcano website mention a seven pound trigger that’s crisp and the owner was very pleased with it. Funny how all the other website owners like the little rifle. They don’t seem to have mechanical difficulties, hit what they are aiming at and are overall pleased with their experiences.

Funny how you really want to put alot of spin on this subject.
The Carcano trigger is GARBAGE.

Anyone tried to smooth and lighten the trigger pull on a Model 38. It is so heavy that it feels like it will never let loose, and gritty. Gentleben

The Carcano is like any other Military rifle, the trigger pull was not made for target shooting. The engagement surfaces of the firing pin and sear can be straightened up with a stone and polished out with a Dremel tool. The camming surfaces of the bolt usually have some heavy tool marks in the later models also.
