The Wheeler version (LINK) seems simple & effective.

The Wheeler works fine.

An empty milk jug, a coat hanger and a kitchen scale. Clamp the rifle upright, add water to the jug connected to the trigger by the coat hanger until the hammer snaps and then weigh the jug on the scale. Costs zip and only one trial is required for an accurate measurement instead of averaging a bunch of trials with a spring gauge.

I've had a Lyman for years, it's been reliable.

My wheeler is consistent, has the peak weight stopper, but is 8oz. off. I used a fish scale rigged up that was more accurate. I test with packaged/weighed grocery store meats and sides. I still use the Wheeler and take off the 1/2 lb. I use it for pool chemicals. The 8 ounce error is consistent across the entire range of the scale.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rob01: Seriously? LOL That is a ton of work and I would have my trigger weight before you got done clamping the rifle. A $20 trigger gauge is a good investment. How much labor must you perform to clear $20.00? |

If this is a "ton" of work to you, then you must consider breathing to be labor intensive. How much labor must you perform to clear $20.00? A trigger gauge is a good investment as I have used it for years on many rifles and it's fast and easy. You can keep with your system and I will stay with mine. |
