My old No.1's all are easily adjustable to a good weight with no creep or backlask. My nevwer one in .375 H&H cannot be adjusted for sour apples! I took it to my (good!!) gunsmith, and he got it down to 3.5 pounds, but it still "feels weird" to me when it lets off! The best trigger I have on a No. 1 is a Canjar single-set, which has a great pull UNSET, which is the way I use it. Setting a single-set when the weather is cold and under hunting stress is problematic to say the least! I'd like a DST on mine, but of course, there's no room for one in the No.1 design!

What is the best way to lighten the trigger pull on the subject rifle?

The older ones were fairly ajustable in themselfs. I am planing on buying a new trigger for my sons the one that came from the factory sucks. Nothing like my older one.

When you say old, how old. Mine has a black but pad. I've seen them with a red pad. Is there a quick way to tell if my trigger is adjustable.

How old is old. Mine has a black butt pad. Is ther a quick way to tell if my trigger is adjustable?

The adjustment was deleted after Serial No's prefexed by 133-xxxx. So if you have 134-xxx prefix, the trigger is the new type.

My old one is a 130's brought in the 1970s used red butt pad. The newer on is a 133 the trigger is not as ajustable as the old one Brownells list two differant replacement triggers. that is the way Iam going.

The Moyers is a copy of the old-style Ruger trigger, and works just fine if you don't need a set trigger. Apparently, the Kepplinger is a work of art, though I never tried it - but it isn't cheap...

I have a Moyer's trigger intalled on mine. I set it at 2 3/4 pounds, which is just perfect for me as it's a hunting rifle. Good crisp break to it too.
