Hey fellas,

I'm starting to think about replacing the triggers in my Gunsite Scout and my African. The stock set up is just too heavy for my liking.

Can these triggers be tuned or is my best bet to look at dropping in an aftermarket like a Timney?

Thanks in advance!
 
Try cutting a half a coil or so off the factory spring. Or install a lighter spring if you have access. Or take it to a gunsmith and he'll get it to 2.5lbs no problem.
The LC6 trigger when tuned, is every bit as good as a timney.
 
IMHO, the LC6 trigger is junk. It works as designed but is creepy and mushy at the same time. I worked on a couple of my own rifles with factory triggers and they are a big step in the wrong direction, when compared to the older type.

I would suggest you pick up an aftermarket trigger and hide the Ruger factory trigger someplace you will never find it again.

Most would say the lc6 is an improvement to the previous mark2 trigger. And way easier to tune up.
 
Thanks for the suggestions.

I have no complaint about the crispness of the trigger, it's just the fact that it takes a cummins diesel to get it to go off.

Can't get the creep or mushiness out of it. It's always there, right before it breaks. The MKII triggers could be tuned to break crisply and at lighter pull weight.

I believe the LC6 trigger was brought about because of the issues Remington was having???

OP, you will need to do some judicious stoning of the sear surfaces and take a coil or two off the return spring. What you're describing is not just spring pressure, it's to much engagement of the sear surface, which causes you to exert way to much pressure on the trigger lever to release the striker.

You may want to reduce the spring tension on the striker spring as well but be careful there.
 
I’ve replaced the spring with a lighter one in my own and it made a heck of a difference. Trigger is crisp, no mushiness to speak of.
 
I used to replace the MK2 triggers with Timney but tunes ones just need a bit of tuning. I actually didn’t do anything to the GSR as the trigger was great to begin with, which surprised me

I agree I think the GSR's is actually lighter than the African's. I would just replace it so that I had the same experience with both rifles.
