I don't know much about checkering but that looks amazing to me!

That's a Kepplinger set trigger, made in Austria. You can fire the gun with the trigger set or unset, handy in a sporter rifle in cold weather. Unset, the trigger is a crisp three or four pounds... I haven't weighed it. Set the trigger pulls only a few ounces, again very crispy. This is perfect for shooting off a bench when you are being very fussy.
I have had a lifelong battle with Ruger triggers. This is an expensive but really good cure.
Brownells sells Kepplinger triggers.

I think Brownells stopped selling Kepplinger triggers, unfortunately. I can't see a source for them anywhere today. My understanding is Hannes Kepplinger retired, and they have ended production.

I heard the same thing a while back. Brownell's showed they had them in stock so I ordered and got one. ??????????

Interesting Dick? I looked on their site when I picked up the latest #1 and they showed discontinued.

Chuck Grace sent me this pic taken while he was starting the fore end checkering pattern. Getting closer and closer...

http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah264/DickWright/IMG_0939%201_zps3fiicka1.jpgThe fore end checkering nearly done. I'm getting closer and closer to being able to shoot this in a match. For some reason or other, Photobucket won't let me post an actual picture today... just a link... No idea why. Note the "W" for Wright in the wood. I think I was intended to have this wood and to make a rifle from it.

Typical of Photobucket! It wouldn't open for me. I've switched to Imgur for free photo hosting, and it's fantastic.
