I recently purchased a m77/22 from a friend and so far is very accurate. The trigger is heavy so I was hoping to adjust it or add a new spring kit. Anyone have any experience with a kit or adjusting the gun as is?

Worked down my spring a bit with a Dremel grinding wheel sustaining the flats on each end of the spring. Have it exactly where I like it. Do not simply cut coils. Given the ease of assembly/disassembly, it's an easy task to accomplish. A little ultra fine stoning of the sear may be beneficial too. Do some surfing as there are a couple well illustrated web pages around on the subject.

Order a voquartzen or Timneys sear and spring for around 30.00 or so and be done with it. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/9...g-ruger-77-17-77-22-77-44-77-50-2-1-2-lbSeems prices have gone up a little since I bought mine

This^^^^ I put the Timney spring and sear in my 77/22 and it brought the trigger pull down to 2 lbs, according to my trigger pull gauge. I'm not saying the gauge is exact, but I figure it's pretty close.

I've polished/stoned and re-sprung lotsa them. Have some RB and DT's both,upon various 77/22 receiver sizes.
I'd clip coils in a heartbeat.

I have a Dayton in my M77 Mark II All Weather but used the above mentioned aftermarket sear and spring kit in my two M77/22 rimfires. My only complaint with the aftermarket sear kit that I used is no adjustment for after travel of the trigger, but the tree rats don’t seem to care.

If a trigger is good,it's good...if it ain't,it ain't.
DT's are rather exceptional on the average,simply because they reliably connect dots,upon the various sized 77/22 receivers.

2 lbs is a little lighter than I like - how to go about getting a 3 lb, crisp pull?

If you are not up to the task yourself in terms of modifying the factory sear and spring, I would look into having Randy at CPC do their trigger job to your action. It will break at your desired pull weight with little to no creep and have it adjusted for overtravel too.

Hint................. Only a bubba would clip coils on the M77... You should know better than that, Stick.. There's 2-3 different ways to make the M77 trigger very good compared to factory.. Hint................

I put a Basix trigger in my 22/17, and it works very well.

Springs ain't as intimidating as they sound.
Some platforms get 'em nipped,others get extry added and it all depends on the platform.
I reckon,I'm not guessing.
