[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2946040, member: 5437"] The BLR is a really great package. I have 4 here in various chamberings, 243, 308 & 325 WSM. A buddy has one in 270. All are take down versions that will pack small enough for a regular suitcase to travel. I have one complely disassembled and stripped for a custom two barrel set. I'd planned 6mm Creedmoor/375 Raptor but debating changing one or both. I'll try and get a few pics of parts and relationships to clarify what's being discussed. On the trigger, it's for sure the worst part of the rifles. In original form it varies from heavy horrible creepy gravel to not quite that bad. They can be made much better but never will be great. You will never get 1lb or anything remotely close to it. There's simply too much going on/too many parts. You probably have more than a pound just moving parts to get to the hammer/sear. Then to polish and true up the actual parts are shaped such that normal stones and fixtures won't work. Special knife shaped stones, fixtures and jigs to keep surfaces flat and not mess up the angles are required. Again, need pics to clarify. The comments on timing the gear mechanism are no joke. Don't let someone unfamiliar with the BLR specifically touch it internally. I'm planning to REM polish the entire action and have purchased the specialized vibration polisher for the shop but haven't had time to get it set up. I think that will help tremendously across the board on trigger and action smoothness. We'll see how it goes. It's a cool package - especially the take down. Strong rotary lock up very similar to an AR15. Super cool pivoting hammer safety. They handle great and the detachable magazine allows modern high power cartridges with pointed high BC bullets. The trigger is a glaring deficit. [/QUOTE]
