I meant to say that my trigger has been adjusted and that the least amount of pull weight that I can get before the screw falls out of the hole is amount 4 lbs. I didn't mean to say it was not adjustable. Typically Rem triggers are adjustable to my standards but this one is not. Sorry for the confusion.
Roy..
Tommy is an fickle character to say the least. Most guys that play with #1's know that and a few have asked me how I got that gun to be such a tack driver. I never really answered that question and have been through the scenarios that most guys have been through in trying to accurize a #1. Trigger, free floated the forearm, played with a tensioning device, shimmed the forearm. Yes, it's the same gun that you can break clay pigeons with at 500 yards while fire forming cases, or the one that'll shoot almost an inch at a little over 400 yards, also capable of taking ghogs at 885yds. Today it'll do that and tomorrow it'll let me down. To date it has embarrassed me twice, BIG TIME EMBARRASSMENT. Since Sierra quit making the 240SMK's and I had this Sendaro sitting there. ( I've shot 7's for 34 years with excellent results) I thought I could turn it into a top gun pretty quick. So I re chambered it to a 7 RUM . Well, it won't shoot 162 A max's period. Maybe 168 SMK's but only time will tell. It'll shoot the 140 Nosler Bal Tips into 3/4" pretty easy. The trigger sucks at about 3 3/4lb and I don't know at this point if I want to spend $225 on a trigger if the gun will only handle 140's. Not that there is anything wrong with 140's traveling at 33 or 3400. That's another situation. I couldn't get my chrony to work. Tried 2 new batteries and after 3 outing still couldn't get any readings so I have know idea where I am velocity wise. Now it is time to quit playing and lay some hardwood floor for the little lady, so who knows what this summer and ghog season will bring. In one way, I would like to get Tommy to shoot the 190 SMK's with a different powder just to satisfy my own curiosity about if the 300 Tomahawk is a consistant shooter or is it the gun?? I know a lot of guys have spent a lot of money trying to get #1's to shoot. Some suceed, some don't. Maybe the Sendaro will become a 300 Tomahwk, I have a Stainless factory 300 RUM that has already out performed the #1. Go figure. So I know the 300 RUM is consistant. My wife calls the #1 "TINKER", because that is all I seem to be doing with it.
At least she gets a laugh out of it so it has at least provided one of us with some enjoyment.
WOW, that was a long winded statement.
By the way, the caribou I shot with my factory 7MM Rem Mag at 476 lasered yds was shooting 175 Hornady flat base bullets travelling around 2800fps topped by a "Zeiss" mildot reticle scope. I click for ghogs/varmints but shoot dots for big game mostly. That way I can argue both sides of the situation.
