[QUOTE="whitely, post: 245263, member: 5167"] It sounds like your trigger has two possible problems. First, could be that the pull adjustment spring has been turned down too much, and doesn't exert enough pressure against the sear. If you have a light trigger pull, you should probably get one of the Holland "light" springs, which is a longer spring that will work with lighter pulls. The other issue could be too little sear engagement, which is set by the screw on the back of the trigger. Check to see if the screws are coated with some form of sealant. Some smiths don't coat the screws after they adjust them, and they can wiggle loose. I would fix both of these issues before using that rifle again. [/QUOTE]
