Anyone running the timney trigger with the straight down knurled trigger like mystic sells??

Thinking of picking one up, should I? I'll never hunt with or pack my rifle.
 
i cant comment on the trigger, but how light do you plan to go? a compitant smith should be able to tune the stock trigger down to about 1.5lbs and still be 100% safe , for a fraction of the cost of a new trigger, i had Dennis Sorenson (guntech on here) do mine and for a gun thats not a benchrest or range only it was probably the best choice and im glad he recomneded that i do it
 
I had one on my.308 5R. Its a great trigger. it was set at 6.5 ounces. crazy light. I loved it.

I had some safety issues with it at first but than realised the actual part ur finger sits on has to be stright. you can not angle it. It would not fire but than when I would go to lift the bolt BANG. As soon as I relised what the problem was it never happend again. I as well never once had the gun fire from a bump or something like people think would happen with such a light trigger.

Ive used it for hunting, I just kept the bolt handle up when walking. However I highly do not recomend it. feels sketchy but most of all, honestly is a pain in the ass.

I 100% recomend the trigger. Its nice. super light and adds a nice look. the install as well was very simple. Take ur stock off, pop out the two pins holding ur stock trigger in place, replace with new trigger and re install the pins. Than go shoot.

I fired over 1000 rounds with the trigger. If I ever get a R700 for target again I would not hesitate to up grade the trigger to a timmney tactical befor I even fire the first round.
 
I've had one on my FTR rifle for around a year now and I've been very happy with it from a performance standpoint. Mine is set at 8oz after a very short period down around 3oz. after installation. I've never had a misfire or slam fire, so no concerns there after around 1000 rounds of 308.

My only gripes would be that losing the bolt release is a pain, and I'd prefer to have a thumb safety. I've also found that the trigger bar itself tended to turn at the point where it attaches the the horizontal bar used for lentgh adjustment. A little JB Weld fixed that.

Even though I'll likely upgrade to a Jewell so I can get my bolt release back I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Timney for about half the price.

I have a HHE CG Millennium trigger on my target rifle that has a straight trigger shoe. It is a 2 stage trigger still set up to the 3.5 lbs Bisley weight. I never really noticed the difference between the straight shoe and curved shoe until I go back to the curved shoe on other rifles.

I would 2nd the thought of getting your present trigger tuned and would avoid going too light.
 
I've been following your posts and I think the next thing you need to buy is a stock that free floats the barrel. You can lighten the factory trigger yourself to a better shooting weight, just read the Remington manual.

As for stocks, check out the AICS stock at wolverine supply, very nice to shoot.
 
What all can be done to a factory 700 trigger? I've got my old one in my hands and it looks unserviceable to me, but I don't know. Is it really worth opening it up?
I replaced it with a RB and no way I'm going back.

nothing if you dont know what your doing.....

the x-mark triggers are adjustable wia the little hex screw at the base of the trigger shoe. but if you dont know whats what its best not to open them up, a smith will smooth out and stone down the sear engadgement to lighting things up, but not knowing what your doing is a good way to have negligent discharges

I think your right, adjusted it with the allen key and it's a little lighter, not what I like but good enough for now I think.


You guys really think a better stock will make a huge improvent on consistency?

Do you guys bed into AICS stocks?
