[QUOTE="xarcher, post: 1325855, member: 13796"] I am going through that right now on a Hell's canyon 300 Win Mag. The trigger is crisp but too heavy even when adjusted all the way down. I can only get it to go as low as 3.5 pounds and I am convinced that after many attempts at finding that tuned load that the trigger is keeping from getting below 1 MOA consistently. As it turns out, there are no after market lighter springs for the x bolt, and the only after market trigger I can find is a Jard at something like $260. So I measured the factory spring and ended up using a Ruger 10/22 spring. It is the same diameter and coil spacing, but the wire diameter is 0.016 vs the 0.018 for the x bolt factory spring. One other thing is the Ruger spring is 0.5 inches long and the x bolt factory spring is 0.270 long. Need to cut the Ruger obviously but a pack of 3 costs about $7. Anxious to try the $7 option before the $260 option. [/QUOTE]
