Trigger adjustments
1. Trigger weight 
Adjust the trigger weight with set screw 
No. 10 (silver screw): 
¥if you turn it to the right:
trigger weight is increased (+)
¥if you turn it to the left: trigger weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight 
depend on each other with regard to the 
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
Trigger
      Warning: 
Your ANSCH†TZ target rifle offers you a 
versatility of individual adjusting properties. 
Please make sure that your rifle always is
unloaded when carrying out adjustments.

To move trigger cam No. 11:
¥lowest position of the trigger cam:
lowest trigger weight
¥highest position of the trigger cam:
highest trigger weight
If the trigger weight is to be more than 200 g,the trigger cam No. 11 must be adjusted
to the highest position (turn it by 180° and
fix it then). To do this you need a 2 mm hex
key and perhaps tweezers.
¥if you turn it to the left:
You release the screw
¥if you turn it to the right:
You tighten the screw
      Attention:
Please ensure the trigger cam is positioned
correctly. Be very careful tightening the
small cam screw as it is easily broken!
Please check the sear engagement accor-
ding to paragraph No. 3 when you have
finished this process. It might have to be
adjusted as well. The precise adjustments
of the trigger weight and first stage weight
are carried out with the set screws No. 10
(trigger weight) and No.9 (first stage weight).
2. First stage weight (only for two-stage
triggers)
Adjust first stage weight with set screw
No. 9 (black screw):
¥if you turn it to the right:
first stage weight is increased (+)
¥if you turn it to the left:
first stage weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
      Attention:
Do not reduce either trigger weight screw
to zero or lower as the trigger pull may
become erratic.
3. Sear engagement
The sear engagement is the distance bet-
ween the second stage and the release of
the trigger.
Important note:
To protect your precise trigger and to
guarantee perfect operation you should
always close the action carefully. If the sear
engagement of single stage triggers is too
small and the trigger weight is too low or if
the first stage of two-stage triggers is too
short, the trigger might release
inadvertently by a sudden impact or too
powerful closing
 of the action if the rifle is
loaded and not in the ÓsafeÒ position.
Adjustment of the sear engagement for
two-stage triggers with set screw No. 5:
¥if you turn it to the right:
sear engagement is shortened
¥if you turn it to the left:
sear engagement is extended
Adjustment of an optimum sear engagement:
Make sure your rifle is not loaded. Cock
your rifle and release the trigger. Check if
the trigger releases as desired.

The sear engagement is too long:
There is a small distance between the
second stage and the release of the trigger.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 clockwise after
cocking and releasing (approximately
1/8 turn each).
¥Repeat this process until you do not feel
the second stage anymore. Then turn
1/5 turn back to the left. Thus the optimum
sear engagement is adjusted.
The sear engagement is too short:
There is no second stage. The trigger
releases undefined without second stage.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 counter-clockwise
for at least 
1/4 turn after cocking. Then
release the trigger and check if there is a
second stage. If not, repeat this proce-
dure until you feel a second stage.
¥As soon as you feel a second stage
proceed according to the points of the
paragraph ãThe sear engagement is too
longÒ to obtain an optimum sear enga-
gement.For the adjustment of the sear engagement
for single stage triggers with set screw
No. 5 see point 7:
4. First stage (only for single stage
triggers):
The single stage is the distance between
the trigger blade from zero position to the
second stage.
Adjustment of first stage with set screw No. 4:
¥if you turn it to the right:
first stage is shortened
¥if you turn it to the left:
first stage is extended
      Caution:
Set screw No. 4 (first stage) can be turned
past the second stage function. In this case
the trigger does not work anymore.
Danger! Do not under no circumstances
remove the first stage completely in order
to change the two-stage trigger into a sin-
gle stage trigger.
5. Trigger stop:
The trigger stop is the distance from the
second stage to the stop of the trigger
blade.
Adjustment of the trigger stop with set screw
No. 8:
¥if you turn it to the right:
overtravel is shortened
¥if you turn it to the left:
overtravel is extended 
						

							29
      Attention:
The trigger stop set screw No. 8 can be
turned over the second stage or first stage
function. Malfunction (the trigger does not
release)!
6. Adjustment of the trigger blade
¥Loosen hex screw No. 7
¥Trigger blade No. 6 can be moved in the
longitudinal guide and can be tilted
laterally.
7. Change of two-stage trigger into
single stage trigger
Adjusting process:
¥Turn first stage weight screw No. 4 clock-
wise until you have reached the maximum
first stage.
¥Cock the rifle.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 (first stage) clock-
wise until the trigger releases.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 from this position
approx. 
1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
The trigger is now adjusted to single stage
operation, there is no more first stage.
      Warning:
Single stage triggers are very sensitive and
must be operated with special care.
The sear engagement of 
5/100 mm is ob-
tained after the action is closed. In
combination with a minimum trigger weight
there might be a malfunction and an
increased risk (independent shot
release).
8. Change of single stage trigger into
two-stage trigger
¥Turn trigger stop set screw No. 8 approx.
2 
1/2 turns to the left (adjust max. trigger
stop longer).
¥Release the safety of the trigger and cock
the rifle.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 approx. 2 
1/2  turns
counter-clockwise.
¥You should now feel a second stage
¥To adjust the optimum sear engagement
proceed according to paragraph 3.
¥Perhaps you have to adjust the first stage
according to paragraph 4, the trigger
stop according to paragraph 5, the
trigger weight according to paragraph 1
and the first stage weight according to
paragraph 2 to the desired values.
9. Malfunctions of the trigger due to
wrong adjustment procedure
If the trigger is not adjusted correctly mal-
functions may occur, tampering with the
trigger adjustments will not result in any
success. Therefore proceed as follows:
After every change the function of the
trigger must be checked. When the
malfunction is removed check the desired
trigger values and adjust them again if
necessary.
The trigger catches the  firing pin, but the
trigger does not release:
¥Make sure that the safety of the trigger is
released.
¥Check if there is a trigger cam and that it
is attached correctly.
¥The trigger stop set screw No. 8 is
screwed in too much. Turn it a few turns

Important note:
To protect your highly accurate trigger and 
to maintain perfect functioning always 
close the bolt carefully. 
      Attention: 
If you change the trigger remove the bolt
from the receiver when fitting the trigger 
as otherwise the trigger will be damaged.

to the left until the cocking piston or firing 
pin will release again.
The trigger does not catch the cocking
piston or firing pin: 
¥Set screw No. 4 (first stage) is screwed in too much.
¥Check to see if the spring is correctly attached and not defective.
The first stage trigger is adjusted too 
tightly: 
¥Turn set screw No. 5 stepwise 
1/4  turn to
the right until the firing pin is caught.
Catch rebound spring is too weak or 
defective: 
¥Send your trigger to the factory or your service center for inspection.
10. Safety
On the left side of the trigger there is a 
safety lever. Please see chapter ãCocking, 
loading and safety operationÒ.
