[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 413274, member: 2736"] Excellent advice. All triggers come with a set amount of sear engagement and should not be tampered with unless it is buy a competent Gun Smith. trigger pull weight and over travel adjustments can be adjusted. But you still need to know what you are doing. Like Shortgrass, I don't recomend anything less that 2 1/2 pound trigger pull on a hunting rifle because of different conditions. Most triggers have a operating range by design and should never be exceeded (A trigger with a 3 to 6 pound design range should never be adjusted below 3 pounds or it will not be consistant and problems will occur. There are Lot's of aftermarket triggers that have a usable range like the Jewel (1.5 to 4 pounds and I recomend a 2.5 trigger pull at the lowest. There is a point that you can adjust the trigger two light and hurt your accuracy/consistency except on a bench gun that the shooter does not touch the rifle to shoot it just the trigger. All of the NRA national high power matches require a minimum trigger pull of 4 pounds and many records have been set at long distances with this setup. Just turning a screw does make a trigger perform better.But it can make it dangerous if set improperly. And It's not a rant Shortgrass . Its a good reminder not to tamper with something as important as a trigger. Again: Good post !!!!! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
