1877 single trigger

Post by rkaires »

Hi Kirk,

I have a 1877 #1 on order that will be going in to production soon with a single trigger. Does the trigger pull come standard around 3lbs or so or do I need to request a lighter pull. 2.5 to 3lbs would be ideal. I understand the window to make any changes closes soon.

Thanks,
Bob

Using the example of 1 from my 77 it’s the smoothest best single trigger pull of any single trigger I have ever expeienced

Luke,
You're going to love your 1877. I have mine configured just like the original Creedmoor target models, specifically like the Overbaugh Creedmoor 1877. Mine has the single trigger and it is as smooth as you'd ever want it to be. The stock is a slightly different angle than an 1874 and I have noticed the recoil is not as bad in prone position as is in the 1874. Maybe it's just me, but I shot mine in the Ironman at Ben Avery in January and it was a dream. It did pretty well too. Mine is a 45-100 and I was using 82 grains of Swiss 1.5
