You need some ignition wrenches, and a good trigger scale.
The way I did mine was to simply adjust the two adjustment nuts until I got the pull I liked. Now, I have the rifle with right at a 2 lb. pull. Works fine for me, and is the only adjustment I have done.
What caliber is your Laredo?
------------------ Happiness is a 200 yard bughole.
Powder man is correct in that the trigger is easy to adjust.I also have a Laredo in 7mm Rem with boss that shoots 162gr Amax like a house afire what caliber is both your Laredos?
I second Powderman's remarks. The trigger of the Model 70 is one of the easiest to adjust. All you need to do is have two little wrenches to fit the nuts on the shaft that has the spring. But loosening or tightening that nut, you decrease or increase the trigger pull. The second nut is a lock nut to hold the first one in place. This adjustment is one you can easily do yourself.

What load are you using to get the 162AMAX to shoot so well? (case, primer, powder, etc)

38: My load for the 7mm Rem mag is very mild AA4350 57gr CCI benchrest primers federal brass oal 3.290 162gr Amax moly avg mv 2538 this is an average of 15 shot string, slow but very accurate.Just starting to play with this gun I'll try and post some more data later in week with increasing powder powder charges with 162gr and some 139gr sst.
I plan to test some 139SSTs also. Lets sync up to see who finds a bughole load at the top end of the velocity range. I'm looking for a strong hunting load using 140 grain bullets ... shooting 50 - 500 yards at white tails.
I took a white tail recently using the Nosler 140BT. At 175 yards, the bullet left quite a large exit wound. You could actually look down into the lung cavity. It looked as if you could easily drop a golf ball into the exit wound, and it would disappear. Not sure this is what I am looking for or not, but the deer dropped in its tracks. I plan to try the 139SST and the Sierra 140BT.
