Browning Stalker
 

Just bought a Browning stalker,trigger is susposed to be adjustable,tried adjusting but doesn' t adjust but less than 1/4 lb is this consistant with them or is this one not working.Will go from 4.5 to 4 lb. with a couple turns of the adjustment screw.This is the first Browning I have owned.Would like to get some info before I fire it so I can send it back if something is wrong with it???

Took my new Browning stalker (270 WSM) to the range this morning,wanted to lower the trigger pull before going but didn' t find out how till I got back home.Now have it set at 2 1/2 lbs think it will do much better next time I go.Here is what I got ,out of the box,4 lb trigger, scope mounted (Buris,3x9x40.w/B-plex)
May help someone thinking of getting one,love mine so far.
100 yds:
130 gr SST/H4831-65grs/wlrm primmers/ .757 ' ' all were 3-shot groups
130gr SST/H4831-66grs/wlrm pri./1.403"
130 gr SST/H4831-66.5 grs/wlmr pri./1.380"
150 gr BT/H4831-60 gr/wlrm pri./.725"
150 gr BT/R-19-58.5/wlrm pri/1.260"
150 gr factory,Win.power point/.574"
Only had time to try one load at 200 and it was 130 SST/66.5 grs H4831 with .766" group.
using the second dot on th B-plex group was about dead center and 1 1/2 inches to the right of dot center.
Brought it home gave it a good cleaning and 200 strokes of JB' s,took trigger down to 2 1/2 lb and waiting to go range again maybe next week.
The factory load shot the tightest group so far but I think I can work on the col to get better groups w/handloads,had them set pretty deep.
