Your perfect sporting breakbarrel?

As you say, evert, a weighty beast for a "walk-around" sporting gun. But there are other heavy rifles that are faithful field companions, like the 80. There have now also been many tales of successful trigger mods to improve that area. And they do shoot so very sweetly.......

The LGV is here! It has s bit of rust on the cylinder, but I can live with that, because the gun is mechanically sound.
It now sits in the Century stock, which makes for a more pleasant firing experience.
It certainly needs some tighter guides, as it has some buzz, and your points on trigger mods are quite correct.

But it shoots flat, recoil does not really move the sight picture mich when the gun is held or rested correctly.

Lovely.

Look up the Jim Tyler prescribed tune for these.....utterly lovely......TX III spring, fitted guides and opened out TP. I've tried a few and they're lovely.

Can the Titan 10+ be used as well? Importing stuff is really expensive with todays exchange rate for the Norwegian kr...

As we're allowed to shoot our guns at full power here, I'd like to keep the port at the original spec, and that probably does not combine well with the softer spring. The first setup will be just fitted guides and a relube.

Hi evert.

I can't quite remember the specs on the 10+ right now, but seem to think it will be of thicker wire diameter than the standard TX spring?

What power are LGVs usually set up for over there? As you know, the JT tune is a sub-12 tune and they do shoot very, very sweetly.

I have in the past tried other mildly fettled LGVs which also did shoot very nicely indeed. Fitted guides and a relube by someone as experienced as yourself will result in a most pleasing rifle.

Thank you, that is very interesting!

However, I've run into some power issues with the gun that have to be solved before anything else is done.
That is worth a thread all of its own
