Quick question regarding XCR triggers.

I picked mine up from the post office yesterday and immediatley skipped off to the range. I noticed a few things. It shoots awesome. 3/4" groups using cheapo american eagle ammo at 100m (can't wait to run some match rounds / handloads through it). I found the trigger to be a wee bit unpredictable. It definatley is not like my SL8 (which out of the box just rocked) and had a super clean and crsip trigger. How do I go about making this trigger crisp and not feel ratchety? I'm pretty sure I can get the accuracy to beat my SL8 once I don't have to play "guess the boom point." with it.

Also - with regards to bullets going down my XCR 1/9 hvy barrel what would be suggested? I'm shooting 55gr / 25.2 IMR 4320 in my SL8 (1/7) and I'm about to switch to a heavy 65+ gr ish bullet and I have loads of 4320 to burn....

cheers
:evil:
 
Manitou210 - Thanks for the info. I'm just about to buy a few different boxes of HPBT's I was thinking of trying the 69's in a sierra (always have liked their bullets).

cheers,
 
I'm running optics. stole my 8.5-25x LEU TAC MK 4 off my SL8 and it shoots like a dream. The gun can put some serious holes on paper. out of the box it was shooting sub 1" with irons at 100m (full on sandbag fortress :). With such a brutal trigger I think it can shoot much better. I'm at about 200 rounds now and it has improved a bit. I doused the trigger with degreaser/de-oiler in order to bring the friction up and that seems to have made the trigger wear smooth a bit quicker. I'm thinking it is the parkerizing that is causing that brutal drag. I think I'm going to put a trijicon scope on this one. Not sure - maybe a TA01NSN or maybe one of their 6x's. I'd like to shoot this gun at the military shoot.

cheers,

any areas to pay particular attention to, to smooth up the trigger? I just got mine and the trigger is pretty awful compared to my ARmalite with JP trigger spring kit and light polishing.
 
sorry to get back to you so slow maurice. when you pull the trigger out you can see where the wear is. I filed the little stud down so it doesn't have to travel so far (the creap in the second stage). then polished the #### out of the trigger and the round thingy (sear?) it made it way more consistant as it didn't bind on the parkerizing. still isn't that great though.
