Missed a shot at a bull during eary season. Rifle fired before I was "on target". Figured it was the adrenaline.
But I was getting everything ready for tomorrow, and thought I would measure my trigger. It is less than 2 lbs. I have never adjusted it down, so is there any reason for its loosing weight? I'm waiting for a call back from knight's gunsmith.
The only thing I have done with the trigger is spray clean it and then oil it.

Knight called back. Told me to adjust it up above 3# to what ever I like. Then to conduct tests to make sure the safety is functioning correctly.
"call back" if anything doesn't function right.

Here are the directions for adjusting a Knight 2 screw trigger - if yours is a 3 let me know.

I wish I had that problem!
The trigger on my Lyman Deerstalker is around 5 pounds.
I would love to get it down to about 2 1/2 pounds.

Thanks for the info Sabotloader.
I got it set for 3 1/2 lbs. Repeated on my scale for 12 shots. Safety checked good. Even thumped the floor with the butt and it did not fire.
Wapiti watch out!
