[QUOTE="tgh97531, post: 351518, member: 22390"] I recommend that you take the rifle to a qualified gun smith and for $50 he will turn the Howa trigger into a jewel or you can try to adjust the trigger yourself, possible mess up the trigger and yourselgf or an inocent bystander and pay out dollars for the Timney trigger. [B]The following is information I copied off another web site. [/B] [I][B]Howa Trigger[/B] [/I] [I]Dear Shooter: The way that Howa trigger works is it is factory set for sear engagement, based upon a dimension from the front of the trigger to the round pin of the safety; this gives a long, mushy pull I agree. If you set your sear engagement where you want it (and safe) then just remove the trigger and you will be able to see where the safety pin hits on the front of the trigger! This keeps the trigger from going forward and firing the gun. Now, just stone that area down on the trigger where the round plunger blocks the forwad movement of the trigger SLOWLY, until the safety plunger will just go in and give NO movement to the trigger (of which the top part is the sear) and test several times! You might slightly radius the plunger where it travels in to ease it. This is just the way I do the factory Howa trigger but I take no responsibility for the work unless I do it. Not that you cannot do it. As you know, "the safety on your rifle is located between your ears and is adjusted by strking your temple area with a blunt object!" Never trust a hammer/sear block safety! Mauser was the best because it withdrew the cocking peice from the trigger mechanism. If you are willing to be careful and test the weapon by closing the bolt smartly, banging the butt of the stock with the safety OFF, you'll be O.K. Harry B.
