• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Replacing Trigger Spring on No. 4 Trigger

First, I'm assuming that the usual L461 or A1 in, say, .222 Rem. has the No. 4 trigger. Is there anything to be gained by installing a lighter weight-of-pull spring in this trigger? I ask because I've done this many times with my Anschutz rimfires and have been able to reduce the pull weight down to about 10 oz. with the lightest spring available for this (from J & P Custom Products).

NO!!!
 
Hi--I just bought a 222 rem vixen
The trigger is very poor 4 lbs at best
No amount of adjusting helps
Any ideas or just look for a Timney ??
Thanks barry
 
Typically, if adjusting the WOP adjustment screw doesn't reduce the pull sufficiently then it is necessary to carefully hone the internal sear surfaces of the trigger. This is not a job for an amateur. And not even for gunsmiths unfamiliar with this type of trigger. Short of finding a competent gunsmith to rework the trigger, it is likely that you can achieve a 2 to 2.5 pound trigger pull with a Timney replacement.

When you say "222 Vixen" what model Sako do you mean? The L46 with the Win Model 70 type trigger or the L461 with the Sako #4 trigger will have different adjustment techniques & limits. 222 Vixen, tells us very little about what trigger you have. I've never had or worked on a Sako with a 4 lb pull or one that couldn't be adjusted to an acceptable level for hunting purposes.
