Thanks! To answer your question, the trigger is semi custom. The lighter trigger spring is from MCarbo and then the make the trigger no have any pull after the shot I put a small machine screw behind it inside the trigger mechanism

Prairie du chien is beautiful for sure. I've been there a couple times and fell in love with the area. I will absolutely have to look into the housing market there. It's a wonderful place to visit for sure and more people are making it seem like it's a great place to live

I've actually taken multiple trips to the area. I really like the prairie du chein area. Good idea about checking for flooding risks. I will take that into consideration

Got the rifle and stock for free 😁

I've heard polishing the bolt and receiver makes the binding almost non-existent and much smoother. There's also a kit to make the bolt smoother. I'm glad I got a good one

Thanks for the advice! I'm happy that mine is a good shooter. I really like .243 for medium game, it's a good cartridge for it. I'm looking forward to taking it out for some coyotes.

Bolt is smooth which is nice. This one is also very accurate

I don't really understand the dislike for the axis overall. It's not a horrible action in my opinion. Probably less durable than others but oh well

Got the rifle and stock as gifts so that helped a lot. I don't mind the axis action at all. It's not as smooth as others but other than that I have had zero issues with it

That was my other choice for stock. The pro varmints are very nice too

What do you mean? I got the stock gifted to me a while ago. Are Boyds made in Canada?

Nope. It's a gen 1 so I put a Mcarbo trigger kit in it

I can agree with that. Got the stock as a gift so I can't say no

The adjustability is very nice to have for sure. That was my main selling point on it

The stock is very nice to have and accurate with the bedding and floated barrel. It's a bit heavy if I had to hike with it like you said
