rdm1962 Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I looked at the trigger thead for any info on how to. There is a topic there but it had info on Bold contact, however they are now defunct. I have an optima model on my 8x57. The pull is running at 7#. I what to adjust it to around 3#. Has any of you guys ever made an adjustment on a Bold trigger? There are 2 screws. The top one has yellow paint or thead sealent on it. I suspect this is the poundage adjustment. I think the lower screw is for overtravel. I don't want the mess with either blindly and hope I get it right. Thanks. Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 This is from an Interarms MkX. Don't know what you're looks like. You ay just have to turn a screw and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdm1962 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks Doc. the link helped. I'll start working on it tomorrow. Right now I'm grouping at 1" with the 7# pull. I think with it somewhere in the 3# range the group will shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdm1962 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Well I got it down to 3.25#. Nice and crisp, no overtravel. I'm tinkering with the loads to shrink the groups. I've got the barrel through the"break in" process with 185gr Rem. core locks. I have about 135 Nosler 180gr ballistic tips I want to use for hunting. I might try the Sierra 175gr pro-hunters when they get back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
