[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1629028, member: 94491"] Glad to hear people arent having issues with the small shoulder. Most Smith's recommend at least .700-.750" diam at the muzzle for a proper shoulder when using 5/8" threads, this barrel is .645" at the shoulder so it leaves a fairly small shoulder for seating. In regards to the trigger, yes its adjustable but super heavy. I installed an "earnie the gun Smith" spring in my win 70 and it was nice, also put an mcarbo in my xbolt and it's pretty good too. This rifle will definately get a trigger spring at some time down the road but for now-- for a practicing youngster-- it will stay on the heavy side for a while. She started with a cricket 22, then got a 10/22, and has shot my 223 and 6.8 ar's at the range, but it's time for her to step up to a bolt action centerfire to practice for her pronghorn hunt this year (as long as she draws the tag) I know shes not going to drop it 40 times, but we all have unexpected slips or drops in the field every once in a while.
