thanks to all who have replyed,i think im making some progress ernie has put me on to someone in australia who can send me a spring.A 3lb trigger is fine when shooting big game but when it comes to shooting english foxes at long ranges its no good at all,the foxes can be very small targets when looking straight at you and its easy to pull off with a heavy trigger set up.My rifle is the xbolt stainless stalker in 22-250 rem im guessing it has the same trigger as the hunter and the springs will fit?
