Don - Some useful info on working the LC6 trigger:
http://www.centerfirecentral.com/77trigger.html
http://www.centerfirecentral.com/images/trigger.gif
My trigger was way too heavy, so I decided I was prepared to buy a drop in replacement. But when I found this article, I figured it was worth a try first.
Taking a loop, loop and half, or 2 (little bit at a time) off the return spring mostly sorts out the pull weight, but after doing these little extras, the trigger is much crisper and a tad over 2lb.
If you're already aware of this, or worked on these before, ignore my comments. But I thought I'd throw it up here just in case.
Nice rifle BTW - congrats

yup, I'll handload for it. I just ordered the VQ sear and spring to lighten up the trigger.
