As far as i have been told numerous times there is no fix period for BLR triggers and if you have a heavy one you are stuck with it.
I have never heard of anyone doing them at all. It is what it is i guess.
Maybe somebody will pop on here with some info of someone who does them or something and i hope someone does as i would be very interested to know as well.
I suspect from what i have been able to find out over the years you are stuck with it the way it is though.
Good luck with your endeavor. I Truely hope someone on here has some different positve info for you.

OP, is it a "new" BLR or "new to you" (used) BLR? I have a bunch of BLR's, older ones they are, none have a heavy trigger problem. Not sure if there is a Timney available or not. I may have seen one in a package in the USofA at Cabela's, maybe or maybe not. My trigger finger does get extra exercise, (fat chicks) but I kinda doubt that that makes that much of a difference with the BLR trigger itself. Maybe Gary will pipe in with some info, he is a BLR fan. We have a buddy with a "new" long action BLR in 270, and it doesn't seem to have a heavy trigger. Have you tried a good cleaning and lightly oiling?
The time required to assemble and disassemble the rifle numerous times to check the progress on the trigger makes it too expensive of a proposition to be practical, so you are stuck,in my experience the triggers are heavy but crisp and you can get used to them.
Must be awesome in that excellent chambering !
Definitely handle with care. The 350 full power reloads kick nothing compared to the factory hornady 325 grain loads. The book must be very conservative

They have a heavy trigger so that you have a strong grip on that beast when it go's "BOOOOM"......LOL. Do't have an answer for trigger pull, but as others have said the more you shoot it the more you'll get used to it. Awsome calibre BTW.

Brian Jennings in Kamloops BC knows how to do them. He took a 284 I had and made it about 3.5lbs with only a small amount of creep. I currently have 2 other blrs that other smiths haves taken a crack at. Neither was able to make much of a difference. I disagree with the comments that blr triggers are "crisp". I find while at the range two of my blrs take about 3 squeezes of creep before they fire on the 4th squeeze. I love my blrs but I hate their triggers.
Did a bit of shooting on the weekend, when I was cleaning the gun after I put pressure on the hammer while squeezing the trigger, I don't know if its just oil got on the trigger parts but the trigger feels lighter now.
