Got the H&R ...now
I like it but the trigger pull is aittle heavy. Anyone know if the trigger can be lightened by a gun Smith , or are there are any drop in triggers made for those old single shot H&R 158's? The trigger is not terrible.... just some heavier than I like. Just wondered of anyone knew about them here...

Re: Got the H&R ...now
if you know a good gunsmith, it might pay to give him a call .... I've owned and used a H&R single shot 12ga but never one of their rifles .... looking forward to learning what you find out

Like Jim, I've had a couple of their scatter guns, actually I think I still do.
But never even shot one of the rifles.
I've never looked at the trigger assembly.

Re: Got the H&R ...now
There are several very detailed videos on youtube about improving the trigger pulls on HR rifles. One of them is over an hour long.

I own a couple of H&R single shots, most in large caliber rifle chamberings.
I have one in .500 S&W mag, .45-70gvt, and .444 Marlin.
None of the triggers are what would be considered "match" or competition, but I've not found them to be bad enough to want to change them.

I just put a bid in on one of the H&R 1871's.
