Have recently purchased an RWS 34 Panther Pro. Suspect the topic has been covered ad nauseum, but I couldn't find it in the search - How can I lighten the trigger pull?
Thanks. |

| I have a new RWS 34 also (not the panther) so I am somewhat interested in this thread. Let me ask you a question though. Do you want to lighten the trigger or shorten the second stage. Mine could be a little lighter I suppose, but it is breaking cleanly and about 3 lbs (which is fine with me). The only thing I don't like is that I feel a little creep and a little too much travel in the second stage. |

| I'm new to airgun shooting. (A lot of rifle shooting, however) I don't have a trigger pull gauge here, so I don't know what the poundage is, but it feels like more than 3#, which is where I like my rifles. I see a screw on the forward edge of the trigger, and a corresponding hole in the trigger guard. I assume it's an adjustment screw, but for what? |

IIRC the screw shortens the first stage.
I can't remember how I did it... and I don't feel like taking the gun apart. Sorry guys.
If you want to tinker and find yourself competent (and AGH nor myself accepts no responsibility for your potential failure)... I set the first stage to be very long, with an incredibly short second stage that breaks just slightly lighter than originally. I also polished all the parts with a honing stone.
I really like the trigger design and functionality, down side is that the blade is plastic. Up side of the plastic blade, it's not always warm in my neck of the woods, so the plastic keeps my finger a bit warmer. |

They can fool you if there is excess travel. Mine is breaking right around 3lbs or less every time, but it feels like about 4lbs with all the travel. I have a .357 mag revolver that has a trigger just over 3 lbs (when fired single action). I have an over travel stop intalled and the travel is so short you will think it is none. Everybody that has ever fired it guessed the trigger pull (weight) under 1-1/2lbs, but it scales over 3 every time. |
