Having read a couple of favorable reviews--and having never tried this trigger before--I decided to order one for my new 300 win mag 111 hunter. The hunter DOES NOT come with an accutrigger. All the advertising literature I read said it should be a drop-in job.
NOT!
If your rifle is made after 2004 (something I didn't see mentioned anywhere) you will need to file a pretty big notch in the stock trigger bracket--taking it "past the point of no return." After all this I still can't get the safety to engage, even with all the screws "full off" the safety bar jams against something in the new trigger housing. Oddly enough the SSS directions mention several instances of why this might be--the solution may be more grinding away at the trigger housing--which of course would totally take it out of any kind of warranty.
I'm not the smartest guy on the block and the directions are full of "if you bugger it it's your own dern fault" type of language. But I have successfully done 7 other trigger installs including Rifle Basix, Timney, RR, McCormick and JP triggers so I'm not a total beginner.
Excuse my whining--but I'm at a loss as to what to do here. Has anyone here installed this trigger on a (non accutrigger) late model hunter, and if so, how did you do it??
