I love those old rifles.

I've seen some with military triggers and others with triggers pinned to the bottom metal. The military triggers are OK but I replace the others with a Timney right out of the gate.

Yep, pinned to the bottom metal. Getting used to it for now, it's not bad. Shot it again today testing out 150's. Not too hot with those, in limited testing of 2 different loads, 1.5". I know it likes 165's and it did pretty well with those 180's. Might just be way off of what it will like with 150's or it may just not shoot them well, don't know.

You can definitely get used to the pinned triggers. I change them because the trigger pull changes when you change the tension on the action screws. The tighter the screws, the heavier the trigger pull.
