Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Savage Model 25 Varminter in .204 with the thumbhole laminate stock. Over-all I am very, very impressed with this rifle except for one or two little issues. I'm just wondering if there's any mods I can do to lighten it (only adjustable down to 2.5 pounds) and I'd like to bring that down by at least a pound to make those longer shots easier. I've heard about people trimming the trigger spring half a coil at a time until they see results but I'm obviously skeptical. I've also heard of polishing the sear etc. but that sounds like a hassle and inconsistent. When I pull the trigger I also notice a little bit of spring creaking and although it's not a huge issue I'd prefer it wasn't there.
Cheers,
J
P.S. If this is in the wrong place I apologize please move!
