Just aquired a nearly new Ruger 96/17 levergun. The trigger is pretty bad. Although I don't understand the reason for it, I can live with the two-stage pull. The realy problem is that it breaks at maybe 6-8 puonds(more than the 4 1/2 pounds on my trigger pull gauge anyway).
Anybody else have this problem with the 96/ 17 - 22 - 44? Is there an aftermarket solution like lighter springs?
I was shooting 5/8" groups at 60 yards or so today but I get a lot of flyers from jerking the super-heavy trigger.
