It was his fault I bought a 766 in the early 80s, 18 pumps to get a bit over 11 ft/lbs was what he said......loved it to bits though, it had the same trigger as the 2200, it's some sort of modified gate-latch I think they used, and I reduced the creep by wrapping masking tape round the sear and the pull weight by bending the trigger spring and cutting the sear spring down a little, a bit of polishing and it wasn't to bad.
