School me on the newer Model 70 rifles... - 07/25/14
I bought my 25 year old daughter a new Win Model 70 Featherweight stamped "Morgan Utah" last year in 270 (spare me the jokes) and I don't know much about the trigger. I'm familiar with the former, pre-'64 style trigger but this newer one is obviously different. It breaks at 4 1/4 lbs and feels like it needs more overtravel if that makes sense. The trigger feels like it just barely moves enough to release the sear before stopping it's rearward movement. Make sense?
The 2 adjustment screws in the front of the trigger housing (poundage and engagement?) look like the heads have been cut off so they aren't adjustable and are covered in what looks like hot glue. Any way to lighten this trigger a little and increase overtravel? It does go boom every time but it makes me nervous. I'm competent with rifle work i.e. bedding, trigger work etc, but I've never seen one like this. Thanks guys.
