    New FN Winchester Triggers

    Has anybody figured out a way to lighten the new so called "Moa" trigger in the new winchesters. I've taken my adjustment screw right out but it's still not light enough.
    It's fine when your down behind the rifle at the range, but compared to the sako and Kimber triggers the damn thing seems never go off when your squeezing it in the field causing misses at smaller [ and big] targets
    Will cutting a bit off the spring work
    "Ernie the Gunsmith" has a new spring and tutorial on how to do it but he won't sent the damn thing here.

    Thanks
    I wonder what he did, 2-2.5 would be great I tried mine this arvo on my ohaus and it won't go off at less that 66oz's even with the adjustment screw in a draw.

    Have you considered an aftermarket unit?

    Course but who makes them, Timney and Rifle Basix don't as yet, though Timney is considering it.
    Trigger is fine, just heavy, I'll see Jim

    News
    Just this morning I received an email form Timney stating there number 401 is adjustable from 1.5-4lb and is available to fit the New Winchesters.
    Mine is at the Smith, I'll see what he can do with it first.
