Skeet, you should have some fun.......
with that trigger. If you go to adjusting it always make sure you have adequate engagement and don't try to cheat on it. I have found that when you are using light triggers like this, that it helps to spend some time with them while not actually firing them. This can be done at home, especially if you have a spot to set up a rest of some sort, to support the rifle. Barring that, set the rifle and rest up at the range and make up your mind to just spend about 20-30 minutes getting familiar with it without firing it, but dry-firing it with a fired case in it. The lighter the trigger is set, the more helpful it seems to be to watch the trigger itself as you are dry-firing, to imprint in your mind just what is happening, and watch it while it actually happens. I have one trigger that had just the tiniest bit of drag, just before it dropped and I couldn't seem to adjust it out
. I also didn't seem to be able to control it to my satisfaction, since it would then fire just when I was getting ready to let it go . As a result of watching the trigger, I began to realize that I could find that point at will and practiced with it. Since I had it on a live varmint gun, I found as I started to squeeze off the shot that I could then control it much more accurately . Other people were unable to find the spot, since it did require quite a bit of time practicing with it to even become aware of it. One day I may get brave and take it apart and change that, but I've found that when I get to that spot, it seems as though I can hold that pressure effortlessly, almost indefinitely if I have to, even while tracking a target. But when the mind says its time, the trigger then seems to break before the finger even starts to make the move. Even though I'm out in (sometimes) sub-zero temperatures, I can shoot that rifle with gloves on, but I do practice with the gloves on a few times in the winter, and for a few moments before I shoot it THAT day; and this is a single shot varmint gun, I'd never have that trigger on a hunting rifle. Also, if you adjust the trigger in the summer, you may want to leave the rifle in the trunk of your car when the temperature gets REALLY cold, then check reliablity by harshly working the action to make SURE the trigger will remained cocked; and adjusting it again, if necessary, IN THE COLD to make sure it is "cold adjusted". I have adjusted triggers in the summer, and they performed splendidly, only to take them to the range in the winter and have them follow-down in slow-fire conditions ; after that happened twice, I make sure I check the trigger all over again and re-adjust if necessary in the winter. All that aside, once you get the trigger where you believe you want it, then give it some rather hefty bump tests on the floor before you take it in the field, to be sure you can trust yourself with it.

One nice point about the Hart trigger is it is adjustable for LOP. I feel this is an asset most others lack.
