If it were mine I would contact Mr. Haugh and see if he:
1. Installed the trigger originally.
2. Ask if he would be willing to inspect/correct the problem provided no one has monkeyed with it.
As I have read, the gentleman builds only first rate rifles; wish I could afford one.

I was at his shop last weekend and we discussed it. I had the rifle made, so I know he put it in.

At this point it's too late for inspection/correction and I have arrived at replacement. I've ran 3-400 rounds through it and it has come out of adjustment twice. I feel like that's a trigger problem not an installation problem.

I dug out a nice 2-stage trigger last night that was modified to remove the first stage. I'm going to install it and see how the trigger sits in the bow.

I'll post some pictures.

The Blackburn trigger is a great trigger. I find it hard to believe that it can't be re-set to work correctly. Sear engagement sounds as if it is to slight, pull werght is also suspect. I do however, use a bunch of the Timney's in my rifles and they are great also.

I always thought the Blackburn was good too. The last time it was re-adjusted I personally put the locktite on the threads. The engagement was good (as I recall, it's been 4 years since it was reset) and the pull was set for 3.5-4#.

I'm planning on taking it to Africa, so it will have to prove itself to be dead reliable before it goes. Right now I just don't have confidence in this trigger.
