350 has arrived-need trigger help!

[daved]

This thing rocks!!!  The cocking cycle feels a little rough, but it shoots really smooth.  And it KICKS, no question you are shooting a Magnum air rifle.  Before I forget, thanks for the scope suggestions, everyone.  I think I'll try out the Simmons 6-18x40 with a BKL mount.  Doesn't look like I have a problem with barrel droop, moved the Leapers from my CFX on it for initial testing.  Sighted in at 25 yards, still have lots of adjustment room left.  

The only thing preventing me from shooting 1 holers is the trigger.  It's way heavier than I like, and the "Owners Manual" (the 3 pages that are in English) is no help.  It only gives info on first stage travel, and I want to know how to lighten the trigger pull.   And speaking of that first stage screw, I can't get it to turn at all, so I don't know if it would give me what I want, anyway.  So you guys that have one of these, HELP!  Again.

One other observation.  For those of you, like me, that have only shot .177's, .22 pellets seem HUGE in comparison!  Much easier to handle, too.  Yes, I plan on spending the entire weekend shooting (wife's out of town), and I'll post a review (and pics?) on Sunday night.  Later, people!

God how I envy you......

Sadly I have no useful information on the RWS trigger adjustments but somone surely will.

Have fun with it man.

If I wasn't me, I'd envy me too!  Count on the fun factor!

I found this Dave.. he he he

The trigger can be adjusted to be very nice BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL! If you don't, you'll be turning screws for years without a clue as to what they do. Properly set up, a Diana trigger can be as crisp as a Rekord, and that's saying a lot.


Good Luck

Seen it, Gene, it's from BB Pelletier's Pyramyd Air Blog review of the 350.  Problem is, that's all he says, doesn't go into the how to details.  And there's only 1 screw, and that won't turn.  So I guess I wait until one of the 350 owners chimes in,or Bob knows something about these triggers.  But thanks for trying.  Talk later.

It will turn, it just needs a properly fitting slotted screwdriver, and lots of effort. Hold the trigger with the fingers of one hand to secure it, and turn the screw with the driver in the other. Counter clockwise turning will lengthen the first stage, but lighten the second. Once you break the adjustment screw free it won't cause anymore problems. It seems like all the T05 triggers have been factory adjusted to be as "safe" as possible, and in doing so the screw is very tight against the trigger its self. It will move.  HTH,

Thanks, Mulby!  Soon as I can find a driver that fits the screw and fits through the hole in the guard, I'll give it a try.  Will keep you posted.

Daved,

     There is only one adjusting screw and it is on the base of the trigger on the front ( muzzle ) side. Adjust it very slowly. I have mine set at about 1 1/2 lbs. They are great triggers. You may have some lock - tite on your threads. Break it loose very carefully to make your adjustments. Your owners manual should have a picture and directions. Best of luck...

   
         Turn screw clockwise  =  shorter first stage                                 Turn screw counter - clockwise  =  longer first stage              
         Turning the adjustment screw too far to the left will eliminate the second stage......... Shoot it some before you adjust the trigger.....
          Make your adjustments very slowly !!!
