Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
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

Re: Ruger 77/17 Hornet
yup, I'll handload for it. I just ordered the VQ sear and spring to lighten up the trigger.

Hey Don.....looks like you've now got the Grand Slam of Varmints in your neck 'o the woods!
Looks like that little Hornet is doin' a right fine job.
