Default RE: Ruger M77 trigger... Uff da!

Uff da meg is right, biscuit jake![:@] I used to own an M77 Mk II. The out-of-box trigger pull was probably in the 7-8 lb range. Rather than replace the trigger, I had my gunsmith rework it. It turned out great, one of the nicest, crispest triggers I ever had, right around 3.5 to 4 lbs. I read posts on the Ruger Forum later from guys who had Ruger do this for free, all they paid was shipping.

Unfortunately I could never get that rifle to group decently despite numerous tweaks and a lot of different handloads. I finally traded it away, and now hunt with a Remington 700 BDL. It doesn't have the Mauser features that the Ruger did, but at least I can hit with it. Too bad about that Ruger, it was a really nice rifle except for the accuracy problem. I may try another one someday because lots of folks report excellent accuracy with their Rugers and any manufacturer can turn out a lemon once in awhile.

By the way, you wouldn't be Norwegian, would you?
