[QUOTE="Riverman, post: 649987, member: 2750"] Take it to a competent gunsmith and have him adjust it. Jewell triggers are designed for target and benchrest rifles. They are typically adjusted down to ounces rather than pounds. At a longrange benchrest competition, bolts are not inserted in the action until the Range Master gives the command. All rifles are safely pointed down range and in the rest. These triggers are tuned to fire at a touch, most of these rifles do not even have a safety. Triggers adusted this light have no place on a hunting rifle, just as a matter of safety and common sense. I use Shilen, Timney or Rifle Basix triggers on my hunting and varmint rifles and they are all safely adjusted to 1.5#. This is light enough that I have other shooters dry fire one of my rifles several times before they fire a live round just to get use to the trigger pull. A pound and a half is a light trigger, I see no need to go lighter on a rifle carried in the field, and these rifles are always carried magazine full, chamber empty. [/QUOTE]
