I recently picked up a newer (about 10 years old but in new condition. Only 20 rounds through it) Winchester 94. Its an AE model with the cross bolt safety. I've mounted a Simmons 3-9X scope and finally got a chance to take it to the range Saturday. It chambers and fires beautifully. Once dialed in I was getting five shot groups of 1" to 1.5" at 50 yards, and five shot groups in the 3"-3.5" range with my best being a 2-5/8" group at 100 yards. All were with Remington Corelokt 170 gr. factory ammo. All were off a bench.
I'm sure this rifle can shoot better than that. The problem I found is that the trigger, while breaking clean, has a pull in the 6 to 7 lb. range. It has to be the hardest factory trigger I've owned yet.
My question is, can anything be done to the Win 94 triggers. I've called two companies that offer trigger jobs and neither seemed to anxious to deal with the Win 94. One even told me "there isn't much we can do with those but we'll give it a try" then quoted me $65.
Has anyone had a trigger job done on a 94? How were the results? and, never having trigger job done to any of my long guns, how much should I expect to spend?
Thanks,
Rupe
