Dogleg. Where is said screw? I imagine I have to drop the action out to find it? First time I've ever done this. Anything in particular I'd watch out for so I don't screw it up? Sorry if it sounds daft but better safe than sorry.
FN Winchesters?

Do believe it says in the manual.
If I ever get into point that I'm looking for CF rifle, this is probably my choice, in 308 as majority of my shooting is against paper.

I felt the same way last autumn. So I phoned the online Wholesale Sports rep. and asked him to do a computer search of all of their stock in every store across Canada.
Ten minutes later, he told me that he had found only ONE : .. a BNIB Winchester featherweight, walnut/stainless, in .308 .. he said, "the last one in Canada"
So of course I bought it. It's still in the box. Why? .. because I do not really need it, as I have a Sako M85 stainless in .308 which cost 2x as much and MAYBE I like a little bit more. lol.
Beautiful rifle; it looks like this :
That is a beautiful rifle!
Now that would just be too easy ;-) Hometownhero have you adjusted yours at all?

Nope no need to. I like it exactly how it is just have no idea on the weight of it though. Its good anyway lol
I have adjusted two of mine. If memory serves the owners manual does or used to describe which screw was which. They are as described dabbed over with epoxy to keep the legal department at Winchester happy. I picked out the epoxy with an old dental pick. Takes a small allen key to make the adjustments. I found I couldn't get mine reliably below 3 Ibs. I suspect another victory by the legal department. Anyways it takes a bit to pick out the epoxy and make the adjustments the way you like, mine all break nice consistently between 3 and 3 1/4 Ibs. with no take up or over travel.
