Ruger 77 Trigger

Hawkshaw
I just bought a new Ruger 77 Varmint (Grey with laminate stock) in 25-06. Already have the same in 223 & the trigger on that one is fantastic - bought it used, it's broken in nicely.

I need some info on how to adjust the trigger pull on the 25-06. It's not bad as is, but I like it lighter & crisper. There are 3 allen screws located in the front of the trigger housing. Bottom one (the one farthest away from the stock) controls sear engagement, not sure about the middle & top one. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

    As I've said before, I'm mostly a Remington guy, SOOOOOO
    I just acquired a Ruger 77, heavy Bbl., in a 220 Swift, used. Looking at the trigger, it all looks just fine, but
    The tip of the trigger moves at least 1/4" before it comes up tight. (Similar to a two stage military trigger). It releases consistently at 1 3/4 Lbs. I would like to remove this first part of the trigger travel. All three of the adjustment screws on the trigger housing, are on the front (muzzle) side of the housing. The top one (nearest the bolt) is turned out to be flush with the housing, while the other two are screwed in about 1/8". Trigger is fairly crisp once you take out the travel. Can I remove this travel??? How??? THX HAWKSHAW

    I don't know that it can be done by setting the screws only.

    If you can adjust the Remington triggers you'll have no problem adjusting the Ruger 77V. The triggers on the Ruger 77V (I have the 223, 25.06, 6.5 Creedmoor and 308) adjusts similar to the Remington. FYI, if you turn in the sear engagement screw (bottom front IIRC) too much the sear slips and it turns into a heavy as heck, long and dragging single stage. I believe the 2nd screw is over travel, don't recall the top - that may be the one to try. Sounds like yours is adjusted properly, you just want to get rid of that initial very soft, spring resisting "free travel" take up.

    I have a fair amount of 700s and 40Xs. I like the Ruger 77V trigger very much and think it's really under rated as are the 77Vs themselves.
