Is there anything I can do to improve the trigger on my Browning A-Bolt?? I've already lightened it as much as it will go. Mark

The answer is yes but it should be done only by a QUALIFIED gunsmith.

I agree. I have my 3 A bolts to 2-2.5 pounds BUT I had a gunsmith do it.

Ditto on the above.
I have two A-Bolts and a sloppy 4.5 lbs was the best I could get with the factory adjustment.
A trip to my smith and they are now adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 lbs. Thier set at a super crisp 2 lbs.

This gets to the heart of my problem.

I've thought the safety was on a few times before my A-Bolt went off. I haven't gotten to it again to try to make the manual adjustment, but it sounds like that step may be a waste of time.

Thanks for the info guys. MH

This is funny. The factory trigger is one of the few good things about that rifle, that needs no improvment.

Now, if they could put a real extractor in the rifle, get rid of the plastic and aluminum crap, and stop the high-gloss finish......

The trigger on my A Bolt was terrible. Like Kensco, I thought the safety was on a couple of times when I tried pulling the trigger. I checked it with a scale and it was 5 1/2 lbs. My uncle is good at working on triggers, so I had him look at it. He ended up taking that little adjustment screw out and filing a little off the end to make it shorter. The screw now can be screwed in farther and lightens up the trigger more. It's at 3 lbs now and much better. Only took him 10 minutes.
