When I had my shop, one of my main customers was a very wealthy guy that collected them, but hunted hard with all of them. Last edited by Skeezix; 09/02/15. Bring enough gun and know how to use it.

The amount of adjustments and range of adjustments is practically beyond fathoming. I cannot get the link to copy but google Anschutz 5018 trigger adjustment and take a look. I had one that was maladjusted and even with the instructions it took hours to get it functioning properly. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

Everything is adjustable and everything has to be adjusted just so and in the right order to make it work properly. When you compare the complex box of springs and screws used to Browning's dead simple original design it's mind boggling.

Mule Deer Campfire Kahuna M Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 60,052 Banana Belt, Montana	Husqvarna, Apparently there is a difference of opinion here on what “complicated” means. Most dictionaries define it in two ways. The most common primary meaning is “consisting of many connecting parts and elements,” with “intricate” as a synonym. The secondary meaning is “involving complications,” as in surgery gone wrong. A trigger can definitely consist of many parts and elements, but be easy to adjust. I mentioned the CZ single-set trigger because it has a lot of parts, but it definitely isn’t difficult to adjust. In fact I find it much easier to adjust than many simpler triggers with far fewer parts.

You guys may get tired of looking at this photo. Thought it would show the complexity. And, I'll not mention MIM parts breaking... DF
