Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wife punches her Oklahoma tags

It shoots very good and it's functional but it suffers when it comes to the trigger.

I'm told that's an easy fix though......

Spring?

The 6.5 is already a mild recoiling round but with the brake she has on it there is almost no recoil and no lift.

I bought a Predator in 6 Creed to see how I liked the cartridge before building a rifle for the cartridge. I found the same thing with the trigger as you and didn't like it at all. I could not adjust it below 3 3/4 pounds so I bought a Timney, which cured the problem.

I have Jewels in some rifles and while this trigger is not a Jewel, it is not far from it. I have since heard it is an easy fix with the spring but considering how well the rifle shoots, I am not sorry for doing what I did.

I was impressed with the cartridge and will be putting 6 Creed together in the near future with an 8 twist Rock 5R and 700 action I have sitting here. It will have a Jewel trigger and be bedded in a Ti stock.

What brake did you put on her rifle?

The brake?

It is of my own making
