Mossberg ATR

[magnum243]

Just purchased a Mossberg ATR rifle in .243. For a $287 rifle it shoots pretty good! But, like you'd expect from a $287 rifle the trigger leaves a lot to be desired. Can the ATR triggers be cleaned up and smoothed out? I did an internet search but turned up nothing. Thanks in advance.

From what my gunsmith says, any trigger can be improved. Expect to pay around 60 bucks but it is worth it. Funny. Seems whan I buy a cheap gun, then do the work on it to get the trigger right, put a decent recoil pad on it, I am usually paying around what a base model mid priced gun costs. But hey it is always fun getting a gun shooting right.
You have yourself a good gun and I would reccomend the trigger job and don't be afraid to spend good money on a scope. Some of the best deals out there are the Sighton SII and the Burris Fullfield II\
Goodluck

Some triggers get better just by cleaning them and using a good quality lube.
