Question
QUESTION: I have a Sears 30.06 Model 53 with adjustable trigger.  Number 1, how do I adjust the trigger?  
Number 2, who made this rifle for Sears?
Thank you,
Dennis Waid

ANSWER: This rifle is a Winchester Model 70 made for Sears.
If its the orginial trigger it can be tweaked by a gunsmith,
but would not be adjustable.
If it has an adjustable trigger its not orginal.
Here is an overview.

QUESTION: Thank you for your reply, but I do not understand this statement you made:
"If yours is pre 1964 you one finish bolt gun ever made."  Would you please clarify?  I do believe mine is a pre-1964.
Thank you,
Dennis Waid


ANSWER: Winchester's model 70 made before 1964 design changes was considered one of the finest rifles ever made.
They are highly desired.
The ones made after 1964 were not as good.
