Browning A-Bolt Timney 602 spring kit?

[nevanevan]

Has anybody installed this kit in their Gen 1 Browning A-Bolt. My newest abolt has the adjustable trigger but the lowest it goes is about 3.5 lbs. The timney spring kit advertises a beautiful 2lb pull with their spring kit.

Anybody done this mod to their browning? FYI it is only a $33 kit from the gunsmith.

Thanks,
Evan

I've installed the spring in my rifle. Works great actually. No complaints and easy to install.

Did you measure the pull after the install? Was it a true 1.5-2lbs after?

I didn't measure it but its significantly better. Nice and crisp and light.

I wouldn't compare it to my Jewells but its 100 times better than stock.

i bought a spring kit from western gun parts i think it was 8 dollars. had a medium and light spring but both lighter than factory. works great

I'd pay $50 extra any day if I didnt have to deal with Western Gun Parts. Sure they have everything you could ever need except
people skills and certain level of friendliness

Well, I can't sympathize as I had an excellent experience with them yesterday. In fact I was talking about magazines with them and they said I should check out wholesale as their prices have spiked It probably wasn't the owner telling me this but all the same I was happy with the customer service.

About the trigger kit, after tax it was $36 and I must say it did its job. My pull scale measure the original pull at 3.2lbs and after the spring kit was able to get it to break consistently @ 1.5lbs and it was crisp. I slammed the but with the trigger cocked many times on the ground and it was completely safe at that setting.

Cheapest fix I have found so far, another happy Timney owner.

Did you install it on a big game hunting rifle or a varmint rifle? I can't imagine wanting less than 3lb on a hunting rifle.

I installed it on a 30-06 for hunting. I will likely turn the screw to increase it up a bit after I do some load development with it, as a lighter trigger generally helps with tighter groups
