There is a member on here who does excellent trigger jobs.  I had mine done and it works great.

My dad's has the original trigger, actually, the rifle is exactly as it was in the mid-70's at its purchase.  Shoots lights out, moa at 100yds, fun to shoot.  He only shoots factory .270 ammo and the rifle doesn't seem to mind any brand, either.

You know I hear a lot about how inaccurate the pump rifles are, but I let that go in one ear and out the other.  I know better, and there has been two Caribou, one Moose, one Black Bear, one Turkey, three Whitetail, and so many Mulies I can't begin to count, that can agree.  All taken with a 30-06 Remington 760 I bought in New Mexico, back in the late 70s.

Hunting Whitetail in Tennessee with my brother back in the mid 80s.  I was carrying my 760 in 30-06.  My brother was carrying a BAR in 7MM Mag.  My brother bragged about how fast he could get off a second shot with his semi-auto, and laughed at my pump gun.  We were walking along a logging road when two Bucks jumped up and started running.  I raised my rifle and followed the nearest buck and fired, it folded and went down.  I heard my brother fire his first shot.  Without thinking as I followed through there was the second buck in my scope, I fired again.  The Buck continued to run so I fired a third shot, and it folded.  Then my brother fired his second shot.  My brother could not believe I had fired three shots before he was able to fire two.  And what especially hurt was the fact I had shot both Bucks. 

What he failed to realize was I had been shooting Jack Rabbits in New Mexico with a .22 pump, Hogs, Doves, Quail, Ducks, and Skeet with my 12ga pump, and Mule deer, and Coyotes, in New Mexico with a pump rifle.  So it was a conditioned reflex to pump when I pulled the trigger.  I've heard it said the act of working the slide, and pushing it forward helps bring the rifle or shotgun back on target faster.  Seems to work for me.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
