    Default Trigger advice needed

    Was sighting in my Winchester Model 94 yesterday. Really, just brushing up as I have been shooting it for a while. For some reason unbeknownst to me, I noticed that the trigger pull has become very sensitive,

    I cock the hammer, pull the lever up to contact the safety button, and just have to touch the trigger to discharge the round. My SAKO had a trigger pull of 3.5 pounds. This seems to be such less.

    I am not happy about this!!! GRRRR

    I am hoping there might be some way to remedy this without expensive smithing. Any ideas out there?

    Just as a troubleshooting start. Cock it using the lever and then pull the hammer back until it stops and let it go forward until it stops. Then pull the trigger and see what happens. It may be that when you cock it, the hammer isn't completely engaging correctly.

    If you remove the stock, you can see pretty well into what's happening with the trigger.
