There's also a forum for patriot owners.
Timney inbound. Homey don't play datYou’ll need to reduce sear engagement or modify engagement angle to neutral if pertinent (haven’t seen or measured a Patriot to know) to reduce creep. Always a harrowing proposition without spare parts and testing after.
One of the reasons I like my M70 and similar designs so much is the open trigger design and adjustability. I can set the nut, give the stock a smack on the floor and know if it’s too little.
I have better ways to evaluate things than I used to but I also believe everyone has better ways of manufacturing things than they used to.
In the old days a “pie plate” was good, now if you can’t cover the group with a quarter, it’s mediocre.
I would shorten the screw and torque it about 30-35 lbs. I saw a video where the owner ran accuracy test by changing the torque. At 55 lbs he broke the plastic plate behind the recoil lug. I just received a camo cerakoted 30-06. Not real impressed with the trigger. It is light but has some creep. I have a 4-12X Sig that will go on it today if I have some rings.so I have noticed that when the front action screw is torqued down the screw is butting into the bottom of the barrel shank. I was suspecting this since when toghtening the screw down it came to a dead stop as it got tight. No more turning. So I took outthe screw and you can clearly see the imprint of the barrel shank threads on the end of the screw. So I dont know what to do.
Options are
1. Shorten the screw or obtain shorter scrrw.
2. Throw a thin washer under the head of the screw.
3. Torque it less so it doesnt quite touch.
4. Leave as is and torque it down hard to the barrel.
Not sure what I should do.
Wish Timney posted that on their website instead of listing them that they do; I just ordered one for my 375 ruger patriot on which the original LBA trigger locked up and seized. The timney does NOT fit.fyi timney #610 does not fit Mossberg standard long action Patriot.
There is a different timney that does work thoughWish Timney posted that on their website instead of listing them that they do; I just ordered one for my 375 ruger patriot on which the original LBA trigger locked up and seized. The timney does NOT fit.
I have a mossberg Patriot in 270 with a walnut stock as listed in my sig. Its a laser beam with three shot groups in one hole, surprisingly! I'm a big fan of how the mossys are doing. I will never get rid of it lol. I paid 500 with a 3-9 vortex scope pre mounted on it from academy this past summer-ish. I then paid 400 dollars for a ($700 retail, gotta love Midway USA exclusive offers) Vortex 6-24 scope and it's basically a sniper rifle now lol. It looks rediculous with the sun shade on it. And I reload for it too so I'm good on ammo for a while haha. I don't really understand the hoopla about the latest super short ultra mag cartridges when good ol 270 and 30-06 have been kicking ass for a century.On a whim, picked up one of these:

I like the price, fluted barrel and the caliber. Also that it is USA made.
Just curious if there were any other Patriot owners on the board willing to share your observations.
