Folks:
I asked this on another forum but received no answer. For those who have swapped out the spring on an MOA for an Ernie the Gunsmith spring, how low can the trigger pull be adjusted?
Thanks
RM

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

My 77 Hawkeye was 4.5 lbs. Put Ernie's spring in and its now a nice 2.5 lbs pull. I also put one in a friends Mdl 70 that was horrible and it came out a little under 3.

I used an Ernie spring in a Model 70 w/MOA trigger. I don't have a scale, but I'd guess I'm at about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds and I m very happy with the results. It's a great trigger for a factory rifle.

I have picked up about 500 each of 160 and 175 grain Deep Curls. Adios, puerco!

I just put one of Ernies springs in my daughters Model 70 Featherweight (BACO) in 270 Win with the MOA trigger 2 days ago. Definitely lightened the pull. I had the poundage screw completely out before and it broke about 4 pounds.
I set the pull weight to 3 1/4 pounds, roughly, it's not real consistent, but it may be my old RCBS trigger scale that's partly to blame. It was worth the six bucks.

It made no difference in a 7x57 Featherweight.
And I have a pull gage.

Gonna give it a try. My Zastava Mauser is adjusted to just under 2 pounds with zero creep. I'd like to get by M70 to about the same: 2# would be perfect. Tonight's bag with the Zastava (7x57 of course): ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/D6349851-354D-4604-A1E2-4603DD1E732F_zpsdn7oakpp.jpg)

RM I've done 5 and the lowest was 2 3/8 pounds with the majority breaking cleanly at 2.5 pounds.....
