Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots If you could have only one, No. 1, that is.

The Kepplinger is not cheap. It's fairly easy to install it you have minimal mechanical skills. I liked it so well I have three, in 22 Hornet and 30-06 Standard rifles and one in my 7x57 1a. I did not go that route in the 375 & 458, the factory is fine for a heavy rifle.

The one I installed in the '06 did not fit well to start with, either the Klepplinger body was too wide or the trigger slot was too narrow, so I slowlely filed/ 600w/d sandpaper on a plate and stoned it until it fit the slot without binding and everything was fine. I also polish the top othe Klepplinger housing and the bottom of the sear bar where it contacts and rotates to make a smooth unset action. The sear bar appears to be a piece of stamped metal and is rough on the edges.

Try one and you will never be sorry.
