H&R trigger job

AkhunterTeen · 08-07-2007, 12:39 PM

i just got a H&R ultra rifle in .308 win this summer for caribou and sheep hunting and i put a Bushnell Banner 6x18x50 scope on it, and man is it a sweet rifle, but i have a problem with the trigger, it is nice and crisp but has a real heavy pull to it, can any gunsmith adjust it? is it easy enough to do myself? or do i have to sent it back to the company? if i have to send it in i am probably going to have to put up with the trigger this season, because it will take too long to send the gun out and get it back for this hunting season.

any advice will be greatly appreciated

I would take it to a smith or two. Once they actually look at the trigger they will tell you if it can be safely adjusted. I would suggest, under no circumstances should you mess with it at all. I've seen the results of home smithing triggers, and it can be very dangerous.

yeah, i wasnt gunna jump into it without heavy research, and probably would put up with the trigger pull this season instead of trying to do it myself, unless it turns out to be really easy and simple

H&R will do it if you send it in to them. When you order one or have it sent back to have a barrel fitted it is an option, or at least used to be. From what I hear they do a pretty good job for not much money.

I am pretty sure a decent gunsmith could do it as well. I can't see it being a complicated mechanism. A gunsmith can fit the barrels as well I believe, if you don't want to send the whole thing back to H&R.
