Nearly every comment about Ruger sayz....you got to get the trigger worked on....IS THIS ALOT OF HYPE?? Are we hung up on nothing? One can redo triggers on almost any gun...BUT..will it truly be a better gun??Can triggers be worked on and work against you???
I doubt it. I guess the question of whether it pays to have trigger work done depends on how bad the trigger is to begin with. If the pull suits you, why fool with it? But if the trigger prevents you from doing good shooting, or you just don't like the way it feels, get it fixed, if possible! I say "if possible" advisedly, because I have come across a few that could not be fixed-they had to be replaced! But I have also had a couple of issue Mausers (one a 1909 Argentine) that had wonderful triggers despite being double-stage military models.
I have one Ruger No. 1H in .375 H&H that has a trigger that I just never liked the way it felt. I've had it worked on a couple of times, and the pull is now #3, but it still feels "mushy", and I still don't like it. The rest of my No. 1's have good triggers (the best is a Canjar Single Set, but I use it unset-it's great!)
For those who use a lot of different rifles, I believe it is helpful to have all your triggers set as close to identical as possible, so you don't have to re-acquaint yourself with each one when switching....
