It can be adjusted. You should thoroughly clean it first. Some times that will eliminate your creep. I have an extra set of instructions. Pm an address and I will mail them to you.

Take Butch's advice and help. It's a pretty straight forward process if you have ever done any trigger work. powdr

Good advice from Butch, as always.

Sounds like it may have excessive engagement. Set up right, there should be no creep. How much trigger movement do you feel when the safety is engaged?

dirtfarmer....sorry...i wasn't following my post. With the safety on there is about the same distance of travel as there is creep with the safety off....with little to no tension on the trigger....bearit...
