[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2253750, member: 77249"] If you get one of the old German made Weatherby, Check the trigger housing. If it has a cast Pot Metal housing beware. I done some trigger work on a 224 Weatherby about 35 years ago. The guy had bought the rifle used, and wanted the action cleaned and the trigger lightened a little. Everything went well, Until I put he bolt in the action and pulled the trigger to remove the bolt. There was a crunch in the stock and the trigger went limp. Removed the barrel and action from the stock and the trigger fell on the bench like a jigsaw puzzle. Called Weatherby and the first thing the lady said was you want a regular trigger or a set trigger. I installed a Canjar trigger to correct the problem. Bad enough it broke on my bench, Glad I was not in Brooks Range in Alaska on a hunt when it happened. [/QUOTE]
