Warning: this thread has lots of me being pleased, and that's about it. This is not a review or anything like that.
For those of you who don't know: I'm taking my Tavor down south to the USA to shoot at the MGM Ironman 3-gun match in June. Part of me saying "okay lets do it" in January was seeing Timney's Tavor trigger at Shot Show. What I saw and handled on the Show floor made me think I wouldn't get left in the dust using the Tavor. So I signed up right there at the booth and said "as soon as they're shipping, send me one."
Fast forward to this weekend, which I'd taken extra time away from the office to go out and run drills and build skills. Except for the massive dump of snow Calgary got. Happy May, it didn't let up all weekend. But this morning I figured rain or shine: I was going to put some rounds down range.
I went out, stomped around, tested the new Atlas bipod, set a few snowballs up at 50 yards and made them go "piff."
I come home and in my mailbox in a US postal service box with my long awaited Timney Trigger inside.
For those of you who are still on the pre-order list: I'm sorry you're stuck waiting. But this thing is well worth it. It's a huge improvement on my ancient Israeli trigger. (My rifle was an early import)
Installation was seconds. Literally the longest part of the process was looking for a pen to punch the pins with.
And holy smokes, she is a light trigger. The creep from the linkage bar is still there, same as normal. But instead of feeling those few extra muscles tense when you break a regular Tavor trigger, there's this featherlight "plink" and you're there. Feels like 4lbs to me! But I haven't put a scale on it yet.
The reset's a winner too. Just a little release and you can feel it click into place. Very different from what I'm accustomed to!
I think I have to pack everything up again and go shoot some more. This gun is finally at the place where I can say "It's ready to compete."
