I had a trigger job done to my 1640 Lite 30-06 and it is still over 4.5 lbs. on my Lyman digital trigger gauge. I personally prefer between 2.5 to 3 lbs. on my hunting rifles. I also insist on a reliable trigger and consider it the most important part of a rifle. Which is why I wanted to keep the stock trigger and why I love the old style Mod. 70 trigger.
So who makes a reliable trigger for the 1640, I know Timney does but enclosed trigger housing give me the creeps. Would I have to change the safety?
I finally got around to shooting the rifle a couple of days ago and got 3 shot 2" groups at 100 yards with some spare loaded rounds I wanted to shoot up the scope is a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x36 with a B&C reticle . I plan on using 168 grain TTSX bullets in Norma brass with H4350 and Fed. 210M primers.
