    In your head
    I have had this rifle for 20 years or so. It has been a good squirrel and rabbit killer. I been reading the 22 long range thread and thought I would down load a target or two and see how it does at 100 yards. I usually bring it to the range when I am working loads for other rifles and have shot steel out to 250 using Kentucky windage. So yesterday I swapped scopes on it for a Tasco 3x9x40 and zeroed at 100. Today I shot two 25 strings with it. It was not bad other than the trigger. Is there anything that can be done to it to reduce the pull weight? Shooting off a bench with bags front and rear using the Winchester 555 bulk box of 36 gr hollow points. 7 mph wind from 3 to 9. I shot a 235 7x and a 222 6x. I think a little less trigger and some learning the wind with these little bullets it will be fun to play with. Any help would be appreciated.

    This looked like a thourogh article for lightening the trigger pull on the model 60. I have'nt tried it yet, but I would like to when I get time.
     
    I'm surprised that you had any complaints with that old of a trigger.
    I know my 17 shot Model 60 ( 1979 issue) had so much use,
    that by the time my nephew captured it from me a couple years ago,
    that trigger was smooth as silk from being fired so many times.
    The barrel is still accurate even though it's 35 years old.
    Micro-groove rifling still gettin' 'er done.
