    Spring Powered Rifle With the Worst Trigger

    I think the worst one I have tried was an SMK DB4, or maybe a Relum Tornado.

    For it's cost, the FWB Sport is not all that.

    What are your creepiest grindiest least nice trigger units?

    Of mine owned

    Of the 30 or so Rifles I have owned over time its the HW25L though you do get used to it in terms of it not affecting the accuracy, but it a stiff little b*gg*r and can’t be adjusted.
    HW30STL .177, HW45 Blackstar .177, HW77 .177, LGV Challenger .177, BSA Airsporter S Mk1 .22. Original 65 .177, BSA Lightning GRT .177, HW99 .177.

    The trigger on my Relum Tornado is lovely. And it shoots sweet with my HW 25mm piston conversion

    The worst trigger, ALBEIT not a springer, has to be the Sharp Innova as it is by its nature a "creep" trigger. I still love them though

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    I'll cheat and go off topic -------Some pistol have pretty bad triggers. I'm not a fan of the BSF 20 which has a pull of about 4 miles. The Milbro Cougar is pretty bad and so is the Relum Hurricane underlever pistol (start to pull trigger, wait for muscles in forearm to bulge, trigger starts to move then an action like a Pogo stock suddenly happens) .
    The Chinese S2 pistol is pretty bad/terrible but so is the B2 rifle.

    The Tell 2 and the Diana G2 are pretty bad.

    I think most of the oldies with a direct trigger-----trigger onto pistol rod are heavy and made much nicer but fitting a weaker mainspring -------------and i've done this with a few old plinkers.
    Relum triggers can be ok or bad. Some of it is due to the mainspring/ springs and some of it due to the pressed out bit on the piston the sear engages on.
    I once spent an evening messing with a Relum trigger and the only improvemnt was by slightly rounding the holding face of the sear.

    Yes I know they are rammers but the Theoben Evo triggers are “fun” in a mind bending sort of way !

    Interesting. It IS a springer but has propellant assist.

    I wonder if it would be any good for FT without the powder burning assist?

    trigger pull on the rammers aint to heavy. but there are a bit unpredictable on the 2nd stage pull. the recoil is fine if you do not try to hold it to firm.
