i have a stainless m77 mkII in .308, is it a long or a short action ? i am wanting to replace the stock w/ a thumbhole wood stock. where is a good place to look? does it make more sense to have the factory trigger reworked or go after market?
I believe the .308 is a short action. To answer your trigger question I think you can get an excellent trigger either way. The advantage to the aftermarket is you will have the ability to adjust it (Timney).
trigger: Gun Docc put a timney in mine and it break clean and smooth at about 3.5 lbs. he did tell me he could have done about the same with the factiry trigger, but I already had the timney
the timney was about $80 if I remember correctly and about $35 +/- for the labor for Gun Docc to put in. It was well well worth it for him to do it considering how much he had to take off the factory safety to get it to work
