Spartan combo gun
Howdy guy's,Was hunting with a bud the other day.He has one of those Spartan 12 gauge over 30-06 combo guns .We were dogging and I got to thinking not a bad idea for people who hunt with dogs.Don't have to decide whether to carry the rifle or the shotgun.Anyway this kinda interested me untill I checked out the gun.The rifle trigger (back) had like a 27 lb.trigger pull.I mean it was so hard that I thought it was not even cocked.Didn't even try the front trigger .What I was wondering is .Can anything be done to these guns? Like a trigger job or maybe something aftermarket.I could never consider buying one of these with triggers like that.Thanks guy's ............Alton

RE: Spartan combo gun
Thanks ridge, was justwondering .Never did like the savage and they are right dang proud of the valmet (at least they were of the AK type I have).Can't see $15,000 for a Merkel 
.
vabyrd,don't want to get into one of those "dog things" here
Love to hear the music whether it be deer,coons rabs,or fox.Sweet song when you hear a gang of hounds open up.Don't hunt deer with dogs all of the time.If you are close in your stands no rifles (at least not for me ).Sometimes you are spread out pretty good ,and might be looking over a couple hundred acres need a rifle then .Kinda like the bow thing if you limit yourself to 50 yards then he will step out at 75.[

Look at used Valmet 412's, they are excelent and sell quite reasonable, for the quality of gun they are...
