I have decided to give the Rim X another try after having FTF, and feeding issues with my first one a wile back. In that rifle I had a Timney 2 stage and ended up having to trim the cocking piece to resolve the FTF from excessive drag on the sear.
This time around I asked you guys what triggers you were using and I called Ray @ Zermatt. Ready said they build their actions for Trigger Tech triggered and that also seemed popular amongst those who contributed to my initial question. So I ordered a new Diamond 2 stage.
After installing it I found the bolt was pretty hard to close and the trigger has a bad hard spot to get through in order to make the shoe start moving in the 1st stage. I inspected everything and didn't see anything odd so I swapped the Diamond from my Vudoo (which has been perfect from the get go) into the Rim X and put the one from the Rim X into the Vudoo. The symptoms stayed with the Rim X.
Having been here before I knew I needed to reduce the height of the cocking piece in the bolt. I took 0.027" off the cocking piece checking it every 0.005". The bolt is easier to close but that damn catch / hard spot is still in the trigger. I put 100-120 rounds through it today after the reduction of the cocking piece and had no failure to fire but the trigger kinda sucks (no fault of the trigger).
Has anyone ran into this with this combo? If so what was your solution? I am going to remove more material from the cocking piece but almost 0.030" is a lot!
Also when I manual depress the sear and break the trigger it feels fine. It's just when it's in the Rim X action and not in the Vudoo. That's with 2 different triggers.
Thank you in advance for your help and thoughts. Oh, and yes I am going to call Zermatt Monday. I'm just trying to sort this out now if I can.
