I got a T/C Compass rifle for $225 years ago and it shoots very well. MOA with Sierra 165 GameKings. But it had 5 1/2 lb trigger and I found that a bit heavy.
So I got spring kit from M-Carbo a couple of months ago and installed it today. With the 1.5 lb main spring I got a trigger pull of 3 lbs 6 oz. That is about perfect for a hunting rifle IMO.
I think I got it on sale for $20 plus shipping. Certainly worth the money IMO.
I was going to polish the sear surface but wanted to see what the drop in parts would do. Glad I did not touch it as I would not want it any lighter.
Will check the POI this week and will be ready for deer season next week.
Difficult to spend a lot of money on a "good rifle" when these bargain guns shoot so well. It makes more sense to invest in a good scope than a pretty rifle. I have a $400+ Vortex on it.
