Trigger adjustment, Ruger 77
Any one have information on Adjusting the Trigger of a Ruger 77 tang safety rifle.
Yes it is supposed to be adjustable as it has three screws but I am not able to find information on it like you can on a Remington 700. No I am not going to buy a aftermarket trigger. :D Al |

See page 7. Maybe Brownells for the spring. You may be able to get some help at the rugerforum.com site, but if I had to do this and was unsure in any way I would get a fairly inexpensive trigger job from an experienced gunsmith. |
Took my dads 77 tang safety and my 3 77 mark ll to a gunsmith he replaced a spring in all of them now there at 2 1/2 lbs.

Been searching on line off and on for several years for the adjustment information. Nada out there, Ruger,com is no help either. Every one seems to want a aftermarket trigger installed, despite the factory one being adjustable some how.

The Ruger tang safety rifle has a hex screw adjustment on the trigger. Backing out this screw removes spring tension until the spring bottoms on the trigger. Backing the screw out further has no effect. Once this point of contact is reached, shortening the spring, or using a lighter one is the only way to reduce tension.

Bit the bullet and took the rifle to Williams Gun Sight Company Davison Michigan. Got to talk to the smith about it. He said not many of those old Ruger's had those factory adjustable 3 screw triggers. He figured less than 5000 made and most on a 77V platform.
Any way for $30.00 he will have it down to 2.5 pounds in short order. :D Al |
That is about the right price for a smith to change springs.
|
The last one I had done by a smith was about 6 years ago on a ruger 77 mark ll in 6mm was about $20. So $30 not bad.

You may want to ask for the old spring back in case you ever want to restore the rifle to original.
