Default RE: ruger model 77

ORIGINAL: harrell

thanks for the replies . i was thinking that the allen screw on the bottom of the trigger might be for adjustment. if the adjustment was more diffcult than turning the allen screw i would not attempt it. it would go tothe gunsmith. i will probably do nothing to it as over the years i have killed everything from elk to whitetail with the trigger as is.
You are correct the allen screw you reffered to is for trigger pull adjustment.Turning it counterclockwise will reduce the weight of pull to as light as 2 lbs.
Test with a weight & a fired spent primer cartridge to confirm proper setting.
As for hunting do not set too light. 2 lbs. IMO is way too light for a hunting rifle.

Best Wishes
