Yes I was able to fix the trigger. I did not measure it before. It was set from the factory. It is now set in the middle. I will measure when I get a trigger gauge. Shot all of this without any issues this morning. It like the Fusion 140 gr and the Hornady 147 ELD Match.

I have had good luck with the 140 ELD and the 143 Hunter-something. The Hornady 129 and 120 did not do as well. I am not able to find the 147 ELD anyplace. I buy the 140 in 400 lots (2 cases) when it is available.
I left my trigger at the factory setting as well. I don't have a trigger scale (yet). I am still waiting for a day without gusting winds to shoot. I have been snake bit so far with gusty winds every time I have the opportunity to go with my LRP after putting on the new scope. This weekend is the same, 15 to 30 MPH winds predicted. Out where I shoot seems like being on the water, you know, you add the 2 numbers together for 45 mph for a 15 to 30 prediction.

Good luck. Hope you will have a good day to shoot soon.

I took my 12 LRP off the stock to adjust the trigger, now it will not shoot as tight as it use to. Does anyone know the torque specs for the 12LRP with the HS stock. Thanks

I have had the best luck with 35-40 in/lbs with my savages.

I went out today and shot my 12LRP 6.5 CM suppressed. 100 yards with Hornady Ammo. Here are the results. Not bad for a factory gun.

Hope this link helps, helped me to consistently average 5/8" with my 10t in .308. A officer friend w/ a 12lrp 6.5 creed averages 1/4-3/8" from 1/2-3/4" before
this technique (he uses 140gr eld-m set to .030" off the lands). Give it a try, no 2 guns i've tried this on were using the same torque.
