Author Topic: Browning A-Bolt (Read 1028 times)

Bought a Browning A-bolt in 30.06 last year. Now I am wanting to make it a little bit better. I am wondering if what it would take to get a better trigger pull.. Is there a aftermarket drop-in trigger group, or replacement parts?..

My other question is what would be the *BEST* scope mount and rings for this gun.. The scope that will be put on it is a Zeiss Conquest 6.5x20x50..

Thanks for any help or comments.

A couple of options for the trigger:

All my a-bolts have the spring replacements which I would get a crisp 2 lbs pull. All this for $13.00. Hard to beat that. I got the spring kit at www.midsouthshootersupply.com

Just bought the micro hunter today first thing I did was to adjust the trigger. The best I could get was 5# :evil: what happened to the
3-6# rangehas anyone tried the se spring kit or expensive replacement triggers are they easy to install or is smithing required

I have the micro hunter in 7-08 and it went to the gunsmith only one week after I brought it home. 3lbs pull now, I don't know what it was to start but it needed at little help. Great little rifle.

I have two A-Bolt I stainless stalker rifles. The gunsmith did trigger jobs on both of them and similarly set them at 3 pounds. Crisp triggers - really nice, but then again a good trigger job on my Remchesters are just as nice - if not nicer.

As for scope mounts, I like Leupold dual dovetails.

I found the Timney springs to be to light in my micro hunter. The micro hunter is not the same trigger as the other A bolts, so be carefull ordering a new trigger. I found a spring, lighter than factory, heavier than the Timneys, to be right. I did see a trigger for the Micro hunter somewhere, maybe Brownells, not cheap though, around $100.00. I'm real happy with mine and the different spring.

Demon - get the triggers from Midsouth. Ridiculously simple and will give you exactly what you want - whatever you want. Best $13 you will ever spend.
