Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Worst trigger on a factory rifle

Non of you guys ever shoot a Rossi

I have Savage 99 that is horrible.

I'm betting this is what you really wanted to type...

Rem triggers are some of the very worst out there.. But all makers can have a turd leave the bowl...

My worst one is a Mossberg SSi single shot. It's got to be all of 7 lbs maybe 8. It would be an accurate fun rifle if I could get it reduced.

kwg

I am kind of a miser, I usually go the cheaper route first and when it doesn’t work I’ll buy the Trigger tech. I’ve heard the original Remington triggers were not too bad. It was $55 shipped. I’ve had rifles with the original Remington trigger but that was before I knew it mattered

Ruger #1, Ruger 10/22 and Win M94

Mossberg 800.

Bushmaster M4 spent a few hours with it under a microscope and some ruby stones/ 3000 grit sandpaper. Better but still horrible in my book.
CMC 2.5 lb drop in fixed that Shiite. Other junk went in the trash. Totally different gun now.

Same here. My worst trigger of any rifle I own.

Model 88 Winchester by far and you can't do much with them

I will have to concur. On a factory rifle, that one and a Ruger 10/22 were the worst.

The absolute worst trigger on any hunting implement that I have purchase goes to a Centerpoint cp400 crossbow. The trigger is plastic, so it actually starts to deflect before the damn thing fires. It is horrible. The bad thing is that I purchased it for my nephews to use until they can get strong enough and good enough with regular bows to hunt our property (bow only), and the trigger is so horrible that it really hampers their ability to shoot it accurately. Borrowed a friends Barnett with the Trigger Tech trigger and now will be selling the Centerpoint to purchase one of those.

Yup, that's my only complaint with my BLR81. I measured it at 6 lbs. and there isn't anything the average guy can do about it other than sending it off to Neil Jones for a $120 trigger job.

I was going to say BLR as well; Neil did do one of mine and it came back ok, but far from great.

My 10/22 is brutal, and I had one of the 2nd-gen Ruger 44 mag carbines that was awful.

You must be doing much better after your head injury? Glad to see you still up and kicking. You've been posting a lot as of late. Time for another shooting through the brush thread...

I always wanted a BLR until I bought one. Sold it pretty quick because the trigger was so bad. One of the worst triggers I've ever had on a center fire rifle. I've since heard there is some guy that works on them. Would buy another and send it off for work, but they're in my opinion now ridiculously priced for what they are.

I am, thanks. Had a couple dark years there... head injuries are some weird stuff, I’d advise against it.

On average, Rugers have been some of the worst I've felt in guns of the price range. Worse ones usually in $99 single barrel shotguns.

But one 77MKII was a champ with an estimated 9-10# pull. Wish I'd rigged up something to actually measure it with, But you could cock it & lift the rifle & scope combo with the trigger. Then had to shake it a bit to make it fire. I actually started the trigger job with a bench grinder, so much material had to be removed from the sear engagement.

Semi automatic 22 rimfire rifle that my buddy has. I don’t know what it was, something cheap cheap! Trigger was very narrow and extra extra hard. My finger started hurting when I took the first shot. My finger is hurting just thinking about that trigger…
