hey soonershooter, i had forgot about the trigger job on mine also, the pull was unreal like 9#[:@], had it reset to 3.5. 3.5 mainly because during our m/l season i hunt with gloves alot. after having that taken care of gun is a tack driver, the m/l barrel shoots great for a front loader and the 260 is a darling to shoot at 150 yds and less on deer.....
