Search trigger jobs on ebay and you'll find him.

He has listing for work instead of items. It's about $45.

You buy then send him the trigger and he works his magic to make it light and crisp and sends it back.

I haven't used him myself but he gets lots of good feedback.

He will actually need the complete rifle to do the Sakos - as far as I know he doesn't have a action to test on to set them up right (well he didn't when I took my Sako to him).

That's the first I've heard of needing the whole rifle, doesn't seem to be the case anymore anyway.

There is a listing for L461 trigger job online at the moment and just talks about mailing the trigger back and forth.

Can only message him and ask I guess.

More to do with setting it up right, you can't test it without an action!

nup, more rooting around than I was willing to put up with so out the door it went, got no time for crap rifles no matter what's stamped on the side of em - quite simply if they don't shoot and work as I require I move em on to someone else to stuff around with. The amount of diff load combos etc and still it was flatout achieving 1" was good enough reason for me to make it someone elses. :drinks:

in the first L461 (222 rem mag) that I owned I had the same problem, long story short tryed some 50 gn sierra flat based projectiles and never looked back. I had a few people tell me the same, might be a sako thing???

Yeah could be mate, good knows how many powder/projectile combos I tried but none really showed any great potential, just wasn't worth the irritation in the end to me, I've got a 222 Howa and it runs rings around that thing so was an easy decision in the end, convert it to cash and buy something better.

The trigger in this thing was an absolute cluster f***, no matter what I tried I just couldn't get to to break or lighten up enough to be usable, I changed springs, polished etc yet still it was too heavy and creepy and then when you got it to where it wasn't too bad it was unstable and you couldn't cock it without it dropping, that was the last straw for me. :thumbsup:
