Installed and test fired yesterday, the break is clean and crisp, … but was experiencing Missed fires, recocked the bolt without ejecting the round this time it will fire. Was using SK plus and the Match, was always reliable in the factory trigger, btw reduced the trigger weight that came from factory ( 1 lb ), to 110z and lower.
Any thoughts?, thanks
 
Are you sure the misfires were not due to the sear not catching every time?
Did you feel the firing pin fall each time?
Sometimes when triggers are set low the sear gets jumped and the gun ends up not being cocked some of the time.
 
When I ran the bolt fast and with a little hard, it doesn’t missed fire, a
ran out of ammo so was only able to do 20 rounds running the bolt fast, will readjust the pull weight later and try again .
 
Cycle the bolt at home with the gun empty.
Do lots of dry fires.
No "click" no fire.
You will see the problem sooner or later.
 
Just spoke with Timney, need to be replaced with a lighter sear spring, they gave an option, send back the trigger or they can send a spring, opted the latter
