I just installed a Rifle Basix trigger on my Win 70.
After settiing the trigger pull and testing it with the action out of the stock I got 3 lbs.
After I put the action back in the stock, testing the trigger pull weight got me 6 lbs. reading.
I notice the "geometry" of the trigger gauge's relationship to the trigger is of course different with the stock on.
I did the thread lock on the overtravel screw (and nail polish on the lock jam nut).
Is this normal? And is one a truer pull weight reading?
