Looking to swap out my factory trigger for either a Basix or timney trigger assembly.
I have a Ruger M77 tang safety from the early 80s and im not to crazy about the trigger performance as it is currently set up.
I can get a Basix from Cabelas in the US for around 45 bucks and the Timney is up around 110 Dollars.
Which one is better?
obviously there is quite a difference in price, is this one of those situations where you get what you pay for?
 
Both triggers are good in my opinion, easy to adjust and work well. Kind of a peronal thing as to which is better. Jewell and canjar are real good as well.
 
Experience only with the basix trigger: ordering was easy, delivery prompt, instructions comprehensive, installation & tuning was simple.

The aesthetics were rather shabby, the machining was poorly blended, there were even coarse machining marks (looked like a sawcut face that didn't quite clean up...) left on a surface that I would have greatly preferred be flat and smooth.

It's only seen a couple boxes of ammo, but it's working perfectly so far.
 
I've heard good things about both brands, but timney is what i've been looking into so if it were me thats the trail i'd pick. YMMV
 
i have used both. i'm betting the basic trigger would be an upgrade on your ruger especialy for the $. to me the timney is better but either would work.

I have a Timney on my M77 MkII, good set up. Timney shipped that one to me directly, but this is about 4 years ago, not sure if the laws were followed as closely then. The MKII trigger is non adjustable, however yours is, you knew that right?

$45 for the Rifle Basix? Better double check and make sure that's not for the sear only.
 
yah 45 replaces the sear only not the entire trigger...
i have adjusted mine and its better than it was but im still not sure on how much i can adjust the sear engagement screw before its considered "unsafe" and no one wants to help or give me details on how to perform the proper adjustments on it so thats why i was thinking on replacing it but maybe im just wasting my money and what i have is good enough as long as the proper adjustments are made.
well see i guess.

They wont ship here anymore. I emailed them last fall for 2 of them. They told me to call western gun parts and buy them from them
