chrispti Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have noticed on my Sako 85, when using the "set" trigger, if I squeeze the trigger too gently, it becomes un-set, rather than the rifle firing.... Has anyone else experienced this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Time for a trip to the gunsmith. This shouldn't happen unless you maybe applied the safety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just as a test increase the normal pressure and see what occurs. Then decrease it and see Really it wants looking at because it's a safety thing if there is a trigger fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 If I squeeze really gently it uncocks itself, if I almost tap it, it breaks as it should.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Never worked on a Sako set trigger. It's sounds weird did you fully tighten etc and check safety 100 % function Don't be using it till it's sorted that is for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Gun smith. Tomorrow !!!!! It may be ok it may not be, you may shoot your buddy you may not. Been on the receiving end of a faulty trigger and trust me it ain't no joke. Luckily for me there was muzzle awareness at the top of his priority list that night. And just for the record it had not been fiddled with. And not mine. It was a small piece of bedding compound that had worked it's way onto the sear, when the bolt was closed onto a round the sear lifted and the gun went off.

I'm resting my finger tip on the corner of the trigger blade and slightly pushing the trigger over to th left. I'm then dragging the trigger back slowly and unlocking the "set" so it's back to its standard state of trigger pull. Tried a few shots with the crease of my index finger on the trigger blade.... nice clean break every time Gun smith. Tomorrow !!!!! It may be ok it may not be, you may shoot your buddy you may not.

Thanks all for your input, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
