Krackel, before doing anything yourself I suggest contacting Ruger's customer service department. I've read many posts on the Ruger forum from guys who complained to Ruger of trigger pulls. They sent them back to Ruger, and in a couple of weeks Ruger sent them back with lightened trigger pulls, postpaid, no charge. I just dumped a Ruger M77 MkII because of accuracy problems. My only regret is failing to give Ruger a chance at it before taking it to my own gunsmith for trigger work, bedding, etc.

In any event, the gunsmith lightend the trigger pull to a crisp 3.5 lbs, which unfortunately did nothing to correct the erratic grouping.[&o]

Good luck!
