I haven't had a slam fire yet (knock on wood), sure do appreciate that little bit of info though.

And yes the trigger does suck. I managed to get rid of that creepy first stage though, with a little polishing here and there. I left the sear alone though, just polished the sliding surfaces in the first stage.

I hadn't thought of putting a scout scope on it though.
The problem I was having was, the scopes I tried on it were cheapos, and the reticles bounced around in the tube, and loose zero. And putting a $500 leoupold on a $100 rifle just didn't seem right.
