kooter Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 does anybody know if you can adjust the trigger on the encore? want it lighter for the rifle part, but not sure about when i use the shot gun barrell on it. What would be a good in between weight if you can do it? Of course this would be done by a gunsmith, not me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: trigger pull Its not adjustable like a Remington trigger, but it can be reduced significantly. I did mine about 6 years ago and it is a very crisp and safe 1.5 pounds. I love it! Mike Bellm has info on his site about trigger jobs. He will do a trigger job on your frame. A good pull weight that is safe for most shooters is 3 pounds. If it is a crisp and clean break and has minimal overtravel, it will feel like it is even less but it will he heavier than it feels.

johnf Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: trigger pull I like 3 pounds, it seems to be a good "happy medium" to me. It doesn't take much effort to fire, but it's not so soft that you could easily make a mistake. I could see how shooting when your not ready would ba a lot worse thatn haveing to put a little squeeze on the trigger to take the shot.

If you look in the manual that comes with the rifle, it will tell you the adjustment is from to 2 to 4 pounds and they are set a 3. I have not changed mine at all. Check out the group I shot with my Tikka 308 on Saturday! If I can do that all the time, I am not going to complain!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
