Hello y'all
I've got a zastava mod 70 in .243 which for a fairly inexpensive rifle has got nice fit and finish and so far with my handloads is a pretty fine shooter. However, the trigger as new was pretty poor in having long and gritty travel. I've been quite successful in the past with getting adjustment to what I like on my other Mauser style rifles. My efforts on this little one aren't working. I haven't found a setting light and smooth enough for me that passes the "bump test" and safety does not function for any reasonable setting. With this being a range only rifle, I'm ok with no safety but 1) are my expectations too high for this trigger and should I move on to an after-market trigger or 2) pass the rifle to a real gun smith? I've loved the simplicity of installation and function of Riflebasix triggers in my Remingtons and Savages but they don't seem to make one for this rifle. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
