cheapo measuring the trigger pull

I hung the rifle using 1/8" braided nylon and used a paint bucket on the trigger.



I then cocked it and slowly filled the bucket with water until the pin snapped. Then I weighed the bucket on a food scale, Ol'#2's always on some diet. Yup, this is factory!



I followed all of the ajustment directions with one exception. I filled the bucket with about 3#'s of water and adjusted the pull screw until it snapped just to rough it in. Cock the rifle. Pour a little bit of the water into a glass, re-hang the bucket and pour until it snaps. Weigh the bucket. Adjust the screw and repeat until you get what you want. If you want to get real finiky you could use an eye-dropper/beam scale and be much more accurate than a real trigger gauge. Here's my results on this rifle.



I gave it just a tad extra on the sear, it's a hunting rifle, then pounded it and slammed the bolt a lot. Looks like I'm good.
