[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2827068, member: 4676"] I haven't tested it formally.. When I had my gun bedded and recrowned, I had my smith check it. From the factory, with the "adjuster" (they use that term VERY generously) totally out it was still about 3.8lbs, even though it should have been 3lb. I pulled it apart and made sure there was no thread locker gumming it up, polished the mating surfaces, and backed out the [I]real[/I] adjuster only one turn and loctited it. I didn't want to get too crazy since I'm assuming that trigger was never designed to be super light. If I had to guess I'd say it's probably 2.5 - 3 lbs now. Since I started chasing groups I moved away from a bipod. It was an instant improvement. I just can't be as consistent on a bench with a bipod. I keep it though for prone shooting, etc. My best group from the last outing measured right about 0.380" for five shots with my 2.5-10x scope. I keep thinking maybe I need one of those new fangled 2 ounce benchrest triggers and a weaver t-24 or something, but that's not practical for anything but the bench. [/QUOTE]
