Glad you got your trigger problems resolved.

You might see if there is a Precision Target Trigger (red blade) available on this site.
The red blade triggers can be set down to 6 oz., although I would suspect that setting it that light would make the trigger to be sensitive to lateral press on the blade or just hard bolt closures. I didn't see any sensitivity when set at 10 oz.
My Varmint triggers can be set to 1.5 lbs. work great at 2 lbs, but when one had an adjustment screw get loose after about 2,000 rounds, it got down to 1.5 lbs and got too sensitive to lateral pressure and bolt closures. Resetting to 2 lbs and a bit of loc-tite solved the problem and it never happened again even after another 2,500 rounds.

that is where the issue lies. Im wanting a pull weight of about 1lb. But i also want it to be realistically safe. I do plan on hunting with this rifle out at longer ranges in the future. That being said, i only close the bolt when im getting ready to fire. I trust the open bolt more than any safety. So far, i've never seen an accutrigger properly function under 2lbs. Not saying its impossible. Also those red bladed trigger sell in the used market for more than they are worth "TO ME". I just worry id be buying someone else's mistake or problem, then be stuck with it. IDK, but this is the trigger im researching. Not much out there on it, from what i see, not many people ditch the accutrigger. I to love it, just not so much for this build. I love the safety it provides, but hate the savage sear design for lightweight reliability.

looking at getting the 7-12 ounce version.

I have a suggestion and I subscribe to grens post #69. Set your phone camera up to video you pulling the trigger with live rounds. If you like to yank off a box or more get a creedmoor. A gun like that will kill your timing and form shooting a box of twenty. I also bet that bullet will settle down as it nears 300 plus meters. Save your brass and I might make the 2.5 hour trip over there to visit one day and we can figure something out.

oh i am saving all my brass. Next things ill be buying is reloading equipment and learning to reload on this round. Figure 100 rounds is a good start. Im down to 60 rounds. Sold my 6.5 creedmoor a while back when i could not figure out the feed issues, sadly i now know how easily that could have been solved. So its this, and my 7.62x39 savage axis i was using to better learn and understand MOA as the SWFA 10x on it, and the strike eagle on this, are both in MOA. I stopped shooting he 7.62x39 due to biden and his retardation. Might be rebarreling as i will not pay 308 price for x39. But yes, you would be welcome if you ever wanted to make that trip. At least there would be no range fees lol.

I agree with Robin. Take advantage of his offer Nate. A couple hours with Robin & he’ll have your issues sorted.

got my issues sorted out. turns out this rifle/chassis set up really likes 50 inch lbs on the action screws. Seems groups open up anywhere above that and anywhere lighter than 30 inch lbs.
Adjustable recoil pad and the MASSIVE new muzzle brake help drastically. With the scope at 25 power, at 100 yards i can watch milk jugs explode in the scope. Never have i been able to see that on anything larger than a .243. Recoil is amazingly managed now. Honestly the recoil isnt much different than my 7.62x39 savage i built. With the exception of a gentle push. It 100% took away the smack on the shoulder i felt before the brake. Recoil is there, just "different" so to speak. Much more pleasurable. Or maybe the 3/4 lb muzzle brake settled the harmonics to agree with this load. Advertised as 350 grams but i swear its a full 1 lb when in my hands. Anyway thanks for all the suggestions and help. Got the rifle dialed in and functioning 100%. Last thing to do is make up my mind on the jard trigger or deal with the heavy accutrigger.
