Finally got my own .375, Model 70 Alaskan

Anyone else disappointed in trigger pull? Mine averaged 5lbs 3oz out of the box. I was only able to adjust it down to a little over 4lbs. Thinking I may put a Timney in it.

Dang it! I guess I got lucky or mine is crisp and guessing around 3 lbs. Throw a Timney in it.

Mine has noticeable creep too. Really a piss poor trigger IMO. I expected more from it. Just wondering if this is the norm for a factory M70 or I just got a bad sample. My other M70 has an equally terrible trigger but I never use that gun so haven't fooled with upgrading it.

My trigger is terrible. Around 5.5lb. Gun is accurate though. Finally zeroed it.
 
Finally got a scope mounted. Bases courtesy of Tally from the Double Rifle Society giveaway. Old school Leupold VX-3 1.5-5 German 4 reticle.

Not the final scope but dug into the parts bin and figured it good for whitetail this year until I get reemployed.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
