Thanks guys ..

Since I live on the east coast of Florida where fishing is the no. 1 past time (right after the other no. 1 past time - Golf) - I'll have little or no trouble finding what y'all are specifying. Plenty of bait & tackle shops in the area.

The rifle in question is an older - circa 2005, non-accutrigger - Savage 30.06 package rifle. The stock is worse than junk but I made due with it by working a little magic on it. I added some weight in the stock, bedded it, routed out the barrel channel for plenty of clearance & cooling and a bunch of other minor stuff.

The last item on the list is lighten the trigger pull. I have the adjustment backed out as far as It'll let me go without slam firing. I figured it's time to try a new spring / wire.

Thanks for everyones response & input. That'll be my project for the weekend. Shopping in fishing supply & tackle shops for rifle parts.....

I'll never convince the wife that I need a trigger spring & I have to go to every fishing shop on the coast ::)

Thanks, again.
