Update on 3913 Trigger Job... The springs came in, so I first replaced the Hammer(mainspring) with a 17 #. The factory was 20#. This noticebly reduced the pull, so at least I can set it off without shaking so badly. It dropped from the factory pull of 12 1/4# to 6 1/2 #'s..a nice differnece...

S&W 3913 trigger pull... Thanks for all your replies guys...I had more of a chance now to clean re-lube and shoot the 3913, and with practice one seems to begin to adapt. She likes this gun a lot, and if she also doesn't adapt to the trigger pull, I have on order a set of springs to try. I also...

I'm thinking with Winchester being a thing of the past, one of those new Model 70's built on the old 70 action might be a good one to own..any opinions? Also my dealer has them for $650..is that a good price? He has 3 left: a stainless .270 , a stainless .300 Short Mag, and a blued .300...

Does any body have any links or true field data where I might read up on the most accurate .20 cal cartridge? I'm interested in building a shooter and it could be a wildcat or a factory caliber, whatever, as long as it has proven capable of one holers at 200 yards...what's the best known today...
