trigger pull on new ruger 1022

[sharpe]

I just bought a new ruger 1022 and the trigger pull is awfull. Any advice on reducing the factory setting?

volquartsen target hammer is the simplest and cheapest fix.

...along with the V.Q. hammer you could:

• Polish and shim your trigger internals
• JB Weld the sear (not recommended for newbies)
• Polish and radius your bolt
• Get a target trigger with an overtravel adjustment screw
• Get over sized T/G pins

Buy the complete VQ trigger group! The factory trigger is SO HORRIBLE!

there is a step by step procedure outlined in rimfire.com
I went with a power custom adjustable sear (comes with shims)
and did the polish. must now be about a 2lb trigger, no creep.

Drop in trigger assembly from Timney Triggers. Simple install and fully adjustable for weight. Did my SR22 last week with great results!

I would recommend doing all the work yourself, with having a drop in trigger on the bench ready to go. That way you get to fully understand how the trigger works for a full custom tune and if you screw up, you can just drop in the new trigger parts.

I did the JB weld, polish ect and it works well. I am still working my way down to a light trigger pull but the feel of the trigger is excellent.

Thanks -- my rifle was not shooting very accurately out of the box, and I think adjusting the trigger is just one part of the problem.
