Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Ruger m77/22 trigger

While messing with the springs can certainly lighten up the trigger pull on a M77/22 or even a M77 centerfire for that matter, work done to the sear is going to reduce the creep. If you want a truly good trigger out of your Ruger you need to address both, my .02 on the matter anyway. And if you go that far then you might as well place some sort of over travel in place too and be totally happy.

Greggo: I have installed the Volquartsen spring sear kits on all my 77/22's and 77/17's along with several belonging to my friends - all have turned out very well.
I highly recommend the relatively inexpensive and SAFE Volquartsen kit.
Best of luck to you.

IIRC I put a ballpoint pen spring in mine just like my RAR.

It’s at or under 2#, RAR 2.25

Done it both ways with good results. Ended up using the original spring in the one I worked, because the Wolffe one was too light after my mods. Used the Wolffe in my Husky to good effect.

Recently sent a m77/22 to Randy at CPC for “full tune up”. Very happy with the results.

I ordered the volzquartsen sear and spring and finally got around to installing it today. Super easy to install and trigger is lighter and has less creep. Safety operation is a lot harder now. Would it make sense to stone the surface of the trigger that the safety post contacts or does it break in over time?

I would lightly stone the engagement area of the new trigger, not the old safety. I did the same on mine and it took less that two min

Sorry I was thinking about the Dayton trigger in installed on my centerfire not the sear on my rimfire.
