For those of you who have fettled and re-set your CD's 1st and 2nd, have you found that the settings are altered slightly when you re-fit the block to the action?

It will feel a little bit different but, normally only very fine tuning is required when you have it back in the action and cocked.
As someone that likes a short first stage, and crisp second I find that setting it up out of the action is by far the easiest method, as the coordination / relationship between the the two stage adjustment screws is critical. 20 degrees of turn adjustment makes a noticeable difference to get it balanced "just right".
Hope you soon get it set up to your satisfaction, and again don't go too light with the release weight as it will only cause issues.

Well, I much prefer a light trigger, how much is "too light" in pull weight oz. ?
Have you gone as far as measuring this ?

If it's set too light, what are the potential problems?

As long as it doesn't fire with the safety off and knocking the stock, how light can I go?

I'm sending the CD unit to a well regarded trigger Dr.
He specialises in HW triggers but should be able to polish and tune mine then return for me to refix to the action.
That's the plan.

All rifles should have a bump test when setting light triggers. Dropping the rifle butt onto a hard surface at a hight of 6 inches as well as slapping the rifles side should show up dangerous settings.

Personally I don't like a trigger TOO light, the important factor to me is predictability and a setting too light can often be a bit hit and miss. A firm stop between first and second stage is always desirable. Polishing contact points carefully gives a lovely feel to any decent trigger unit.
