Trigger
Warning:
Your ANSCHÜTZ target rifle offers you a
versatility of individual adjusting properties.
Please make sure that your rifle always is
unloaded when carrying out adjustments.
1. Trigger weight
Adjust the trigger weight with set screw
No. 2:
•if you turn it to the right:
trigger weight is increased (+)
•if you turn it to the left:
trigger weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
2. Sear engagement
The sear engagement is the distance bet-
ween the second stage and the release of
the trigger.
Important note:
To protect your precise trigger and to
guarantee perfect operation you should
always close the action carefully. If the sear
engagement of single stage triggers is too
small and the trigger weight is too low or if
the first stage of two-stage triggers is too
short, the trigger might release
inadvertently by a sudden impact or too
powerful closing of the action if the gun is
loaded and not in the ”safe“ position.
Adjustment of the sear engagement for
assembled
two-stage triggers with set
screw No. 1:
•if you turn it to the left:
sear engagement is shortened
•if you turn it to the right:
sear engagement is extended
Adjustment of an optimum sear engage-
ment:
Make sure your rifle is not loaded. Cock
your rifle and release the trigger. Check if
the trigger releases as desired.
The sear engagement is too long:
There is a small distance between the
second stage and the release of the trigger.
•Turn set screw No. 1 counter-clockwise
after cocking and releasing (approxi-
mately
1 /
8
turn each).
