[Shooter 2.5]

Chances are, the trigger is just gummed up from lack of use. I normally love a two stage trigger but I'm not going to spend any money on this one.

I have a friend that fell in love with his Yugo Mauser. He changed the rear sight to one with Micrometer settings and bought a Timney trigger. He let me use it once and I had already heard that he had set the trigger until it was close to dangerous. I was ready to shoot and I laid my finger onto the trigger and it went off. He was very pleased that I shot it without realizing it would go off. Luckily, I don't trust any trigger so I wasn't hurt. I have triggers like that on a couple of Anschutz's but large centerfires should have a couple of pounds on them. My High Power Rifle competitors all have the legal rating of more than four and a half pounds.

He changed the rear sight to one with Micrometer settings and bought a Timney trigger... I have triggers like that on a couple of Anschutz's but large centerfires should have a couple of pounds on them. My High Power Rifle competitors all have the legal rating of more than four and a half pounds.

I installed Timney triggers in my Savage bolt guns, and have been pretty happy with the results. The .223 Model 10FP is dialed in at about 2 pounds, which seems appropriate for a varmint rifle. But I left the .30-06 Model 110F at about 3.5 for safety reasons.

Both shoot well; the Model 10 (9" twist barrel) favors 69+ grain match ammo - and (don't ask me to explain why) Federal 'American Eagle' 50 grain hollow points. It hates every 55 grain load I feed it, which figures - I've got more 55 grain ammo stashed than anything else. The .30-06 likes 150 grain Norma Jaktmatch - one (ragged ;>) hole groups. No complaints there...

(My personal preferences - your mileage may vary! ;>)
