I think you can just use a small screwdriver and push down on the bolt release on the left side of the receiver. I see no reason not to be able to use the bolt release with a target type trigger as long as you reinstall the primary part of the bolt release.

Varmintcaller, I agree this can be done and a 3 lb trigger is satisfactory on a hunting rifle. But, there are two things that the fellow did not address. One is that the new triggers do not even come close to giving a consistent pull. When I got mine, I adjusted the trigger pull and it came down to ...

Mike, the 34 grainers I tested the other day, seemed to group quite well. I should be able to tell you more on wednesday when I compare them to the 32 grain Vmax.

Rick, did the computer ask you if you wanted to download any particular program to deal with wmv? that is what usually happens. Then after the download, you can watch the video. Just follow directions. In fact it should be a part of windows unless you are using a Mac.

Rick, it comes down to getting into the correct frame of mind. My previous project was a Winchester pellet gun with about a 20 lb. trigger pull. I tore it apart and it set there for about 3 months till I finally figured out how to reassemble. Now it has about a 2 lb trigger, just by changing the spr...

I would not do that with a piece of junk. Now maybe there is some merit to the word junk in this case. It will adjust up to 2 1/2 lbs so I am not concerned as I will work out the safety issues.

I got so ticked off about that trigger on the 700 that I thought the least I had to lose, was to take it off and throw it away if I could not do something with it. I am not recommending this who have not had some experience with triggers, but here is what I did. I got the trigger off the action and ...

Gary, I adjusted mine down to 1 1/2 lbs,but it just does not see to stay there. I checked it the other day and it was consistently over two lbs. I could kick my self in the butt over buying the Remington without doing some scouting on the internet. The reason I bought the remington, was to have a li...

Frank, how light have you been able to reduce the weight on the Timney triggers? I would very much like to match the 14-17 oz weight on my two Sako triggers. I am certainly not going into the benchrest competition so if I can buy a perfectly useful trigger, for less that $225, I would likely make th...

I have been pretty spoiled on my go to varmint guns, as the two Sako's have the pulls adjusted to 14 and 17 oz's respectively. Most of my shooting is off a pretty solid rest so light triggers work ok for me. I would like to purchase a trigger for my 204 model 700. Most of the advertisements say that...

I would say that the most important part of shooting off a bench is making sure everything is done the same each time. That includes how tight one grips the gun and changing position on the stock with the hand. The second thing is that the face should be locked into the same place on the stock each ...

Rick, you are so right on. In another post I just did, I explained that my 204 Remington is now capable of some real accuracy. In my opinion, guys need to learn how to bed a stock and do it properly. This project of mine has dragged on, but the one thing it has done, is raised my point of determinat...

Well, I bedded the action last evening and took the gun back out at noon today. The first shot, was high and right, but four out of the next 5 you can cover with a quarter. One I pulled and called that shot. So 4 shots under a quarter with a load of dp2200 that is unproven with 34 gr. Midsouth(nosle...

PM me and I will give you a few things to do to diagnose a problem.

I see groups pictured here now and then that point to bedding not being very good. It has been my experience, that a good barrel well bedded, will shoot most any loads reasonably well. The difference between excellent, small groups is sometimes the load. The excellent groups are hard to acheive with...
