DIY Trigger work Ruger 77/22

[Coach W]

Last night I replaced the spring in my pre accutrigger savage model 93 17hmr with the sprind out of a "clicky" pen. It cut the trigger pull in about half. I also shimmed the trigger group off of the action with a piece of .025 feeler gauge and it took out all of the creep.

Lol I've used the clicky pen spring as a temporary before while I was waiting on the lighter spring to arrive by snail mail...

I wouldn't recommend long term use with either of the things you did... But as a temporary step to figure out just what needs to be adjusted they can be very handy, before you start taking off metal on the wrong part.
