[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5585028, member: 10373"] I have an original Abolt so the trigger can only be adjusted by a gunsmith by honing it. It came from the factory around 5 lbs. Basically unusable. The gunsmith reduced it to 3 lbs which is fine. My match rifle is set at 3 oz so everything now feels heavy in comparison but I can still deal with it. The point I wanted to make is to be careful that you don’t get any moisture in it during extreme cold temps or it will freeze and FTF. That mistake cost me a deer! It might be a good idea to drop the hammer on an empty chamber during long cold sits. The area that can freeze is not a spot easily accessible through normal cleaning. It’s just a fault of Browning Abolt rifles trigger mechanism. [/QUOTE]
