Cooey trigger help!!!

[TOPH R]

I have a cooey model 60, 22lr, and well, the trigger is definately stiff to say the least.
Is there anything I can do to lessen the pull of the trigger?

I filed down the lip on the bolt where the trigger makes contact. same creep, but much less pull

Sounds good, the creep I can deal with, but the pull makes me lift the rifle a bit, pisses me off with the scope on it.

While we are on the subject, I just want to make sure I know what "creep" means...

its the amount of pull before it actually makes the bolt move correct?

 

[Amphibious]

creep is the distance the trigger has to travel before it breaks.

take a very little off at a time! if you bugger it up you'll need a new bolt.

also check for any burs on the bolt and sear.

I better be careful, I dont think it would be so much fun to find a bolt for it.

This works but proceed very carefully, and err on the stiff side a bit. Literally take a couple of lite swipes at a time and test. Its easy to cross over to a hair trigger, and hard to get the stiffness back.

I am glad it can be done, because other than the trigger, the gun is shooting VERY well, it's not sighted 100% yet (forgot my vise) and it just makes me smile.

I was contemplating picking up a savage mk2 BV, but if I can get the cooey up to snuff with the trigger, I may not bother with the savage.

But then, I may anyways!

Cooey 600, fixed 4x, prior to trigger adjustment. some shots are covered (tested 2nd set of ammo with poor results). these old cooeys will shoot

Not a problem - I have an adequate supply kicking around. ......... so, get out the side grinder..............
