Next time I'm in PA for any length of time I'll drop my BLRs (308 Win & 450 Marlin) off at Neil Jones shop & get the triggers done correctly the first time.dpe.ahoy wrote:Pricedo, ya get them triggers done yet? Just wondering how they turned out. Been so long since I shot either of my BLR's I can't remember if they were too bad or not, the 7mm08 has dropped a few deer for me so is usable, anyway. DP
For now they are tolerable.
I always wondered why Browning who seemed so pluperfect on other details of fine gun building kinda overlooked one of the main contributors to accuracy/inaccuracy........the TRIGGER.
Seemed like their desire to address a non-existent problem (finger pinching between finger lever & trigger) led to design compromises that resulted in a "middlin to crappy" trigger......in contrast the triggers on Browning bolt actions are great.
A friend of mine who can (according to him) fix anything & whose guns all shoot 1/2 MOA (we have all met one of those at one time or the other ) kinda shied off on the BLR triggers........."it's bin a while since I fixed one, maybe you should take it to a smith".
