Browning X-Bolt Trigger Help - 04/04/20
I bought an X-Bolt and knew beforehand that the trigger was going to be the weak link and in fact that's the case.The lowest I could adjust it was 4 pounds so I bought an M-Carbo spring and the lowest I can get it is 3 - 3 1/4. I've been emailing back and forth with M-Carbo and their last advice was to polish the sear. I'm ok with changing out a spring but I'm not going to go beyond that. I'd normally just put a Timney on it but then I'd lose the bolt lock down feature which I really don't want to do.
So, does anyone have a recommendation to get it around 2 1/2 lbs? Also anyone know of a smith that works on x-bolt triggers? (I realize these triggers aren't known for being able to be improved much.)
Is there an aftermarket trigger that locks down the bolt? Jard and Timney do not.
Lastly, I've read where some guys have gotten around 2 lbs with the M-Carbo spring, maybe if I buy another factory trigger of someone that went the Timney route, it would end up better than mine? Thoughts?
Sorry for the scatter brained bouncing around.
