Bix n Andy trigger weight question

[Linko]

Ok, stock rife guy here. I just had my first custom rifle built. It is a F TR in 308 with a Panda action with a Bix n Andy trigger.

Is 2.7 oz what i should have set on this trigger. WHOW! That's light. I am used to resting my finger on my Savage trigger and taking up the slack. I can learn to use such a light trigger. Just want to know if I am on track with my build?

Trigger pull weight is a personal preference, I will say for me I thought 2 to 3 oz was light with my first bench gun but I got used to it pretty quick, it hovers around the 2oz now..start at 2.7oz or possibly 4 to 5oz, if you don’t get a feel for it wind it up if you do wind it down or keep it there.

Thanks,

As long as I am in the ballpark of what is considered "normal"" trigger weight.

This weekend will be my first day with my new rifle!

You can get a lot lighter than 2.7oz with a B&A trigger. My preference for BR with is shoot with a real light trigger. I don’t touch the trigger until I am ready to fire...more like a very light bump.

I place my thumb on the back of the trigger guard and my index finger on the trigger blade. Doing so, I don't upset the gun when I press the trigger which is set at 2 ounces.

I have a bag to rest my hand on at trigger height. When I'm ready touch the trigger.

On my rimfire I touch trigger with my left hand.

Linko, you should feel the 5039 Anschutz double set trigger I have on my old 1411 Anny. It's set at about 5 grams (roughly 1/6 ounce), unbelievably sweet...... Bob.

You will be fine, I went from a savage to a 1-2oz bix on my first custom build and my hand shook so bad you would have thought I had full blown Parkinson’s and now I can rest my finger on the trigger without it going off.

I am entering a new world in shooting !!!!

Well i think I have removed the gun from the equation. It's all up to me now.

Packed the car tonight and off to the range tomorrow.

You use that rear bag backwards like that or is it just a pic?
