You can mess around with the trigger, I've never done it with this rifle, but here's a sight that may help. http://www.perkloafm.com/downloads2.html It's got a couple of things you can download that tell you how.

Another thing could be the drop time on your hammer, and I don't know how you could change that. Just make sure your shooting with proper form and proper follow through

You can also probably float your barrel and bed the forearm, but once again, I've never done that on this rifle.

Hope this helps, my experience is limited as I was only helping a friend get his shooting a little better.

Good advice if you really want that gun to shoot, at all cost. I'd just be careful in how much work and money I spent, trying to polish a turd.

I'd sell that sucker and buy a used anything or even a Savage. I can't believe I said to buy a Savage!
