Took a recently purchased 28 ga 725 (used) to the skeet range for a shakedown today. Had a momentary false start, then promptly reeled off a 25 with it. Good fit, nice balance, but a big factor was the triggers. Somebody had done a masterful job on them, silky smooth, medium light, no creep, o&u identical. What a difference. Now I’m going to have to do the same on my other guns (trigger on another 725 feels like dragging a stick down a dirt road). I need a good trigger guy, give me some names please. Briley does them I’m told.
TIA

| Dennis Potter in Wisconsin did great trigger work on my Fox and Parker SBT's. I have his contact info if you want it. |

Timely post. I recently bought a trigger pull gauge, found my Lightning Feather has a 4 lb pull on lower barrel and 6 lb on upper. My White Lightning has 6 lbs on both. Guess which one I shoot better….the LF, of course. It’s threatening to become my number one.
Waiting for any other responses on trigger smiths. |

| Brewster, I sent you a PM but it acted weird; not sure it went through. Let me know if you got it. |
