[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 130744, member: 7"] Hello Ian... [ QUOTE ] Very interested to hear how your new toy shoots. I have been shooting 140 AMAX and 142 Matchkings in my 6.5-284 Cooper with very good results on paper and deer. [/ QUOTE ] I'm hopeful on this. I'll be shooting it on Monday and Thursday this week. I have loaded two each of some feeler rounds of 4350 and 4831, with the Hornady 95gr V-Max, and based on what I see on Monday, I'll load up more of the best for Thursday.... so I'll let you know. I have a Leupold MK4-M3 on it, as it is intended to be a Godzilla Varmint rifle. A family member raises pedigreed cattle and has problems with 'yotes and feral dogs. The feral dogs are worse than the coyotes. I have shot at both a lot and they are very wary. I used a 40XB 300WM on them for a few years, but it was just too much gun (at both ends), and I don't think the 178 A-maxs were coming apart like I thought they would. [ QUOTE ] Do you think hell did freeze over and they are actually putting on decent triggers or did you just get lucky? [/ QUOTE ] I think the trigger may be good because of the new trigger. Besides the one in the gun, I have one (by itself) on the bench to play with, and it is a major overhaul of the old trigger. I'm going to be taking pictures and writing it up. The finger pad feels REALLY nice. But I may be lucky... I'm the only person that has the new trigger that I know of... no one else has posted about it on the sites that I visit, though all the "wanna be experts" are speculating about it. I would like to hear from other guys that have the new trigger. It IS adjustable, and has allen screws now. Rem just started shipping the new triggers in the beginning of the summer. My rifle was made in July (barrel code is "O") - does your 7mm Mag have the new trigger or the old one??
