Does anyone recognize this trigger MFRG..

[DJ Fergus]

Its a shooter for sure. This trigger was testing my patience I will say that. 144 Berger LRHT with 75 grains of RL 33
3.335 OACL. 3180 fps off my Labradar.
127 LRX with 63 gr Retumbo shoots 1/2" at 100 yds. 3180 FPS. 3.260 oacl.
Iv'e shot the 140 VLDH, 147 ELDM, 140 SST. RL 33 works great, and of course Retumbo.
Mine is a 26" barrel. No Brake.

That's music to my ears

Timney makes a decent MOA replacement trigger if you are looking for a better overall or replacement solution to drop that pull weight.

Thanks. I will take a look. I like a 2lb or so trigger so I may end up getting one. See how this ends up,

It is on a Win M70 that I bought and I was trying to lighten the pull from 4.5 down to 3 or less. I have it all screwed up now, and need to figure out how to get it reset.

Just buy a Timney 401, 1-866-484-6639

Ok nice work. I backed both screws out and reinstalled it and now its working. Set at 3 lbs. I would like less. I backed the bottom screw out 1/2 turn, but still 3 lbs.

That's about as low as it'll go and reset, you ran out of spring

The old Winchester M70 trigger was a good design, but it took a little while to get set right. This is clearly the new M70 design, kinda like a knock off of the Timney. I used to think Timneys were the best hunting trigger available, but since taking up bench rest shooting I have discovered the Jewell. They make a trigger for the M70, and I like it a lot. I think it gives a cleaner break, with no sign of creep.

Not to be a wise ***, I found it a little ironic that one of your photos showed a part of the barrel with the engraved admonition to "read instruction manual first."

Its their standard factory trigger: I do these regularly, but it requires disassembly, rework & modifications to get it consistently under 2-3 lbs and there is no need to change the springs!

i would second this and raise you a few stars! I have one for the standard m70. It is set at an amazing 2.25lbs.

Most used guns I have bought don't come with the box or instruction manual as is the case with this one. Now I am familiar with the old M70 Trigger which surprised me when I saw this.

Right. I missed the part where you said it was a used rifle.
