Looking for Timney Triggers , for Winchester Model 70...

[rickspeed]

I have a Winchester Model 70, XTR , Featherlight in a 30.06 (1987)ish....

I'm looking to upgrade my Trigger pack, who sells them, and any feedback would be appreciated.
My research tells me it's a Timney model 401..
Cheers

Try accurate action (site sponsor). I bought my Timney 510 from them.

Call them bad triggers, your approach is all wrong

I know where you are headed though and agree

No ####....these are THE easiest triggers to tune.

Count me in as another big fan of the original triggers!

Just got mine from Mistic Precision. Gotta say, so far I do not like the flat feeling of the trigger. Needs to be rounded like every other trigger I have ever felt, not sure why they come so uncomfortable?

Did you get the flat trigger? They make flat and rounded versions.

I guess it is the flat version. When I ordered it I wasn't aware there was two types and Jerry didn't say anything to that affect. If I had known I definitely would not have bought it.

Very dissapointing, most uncomfortable trigger I have ever used!

See if he will exchange it?
Flat triggers are OK with pistol grip stocks for target shooting, but for hunting with a regular sporter stock rounded is more natural.

I just email Timney to see if it is possible to just switch the trigger without having to get a new assembly

CDI distribution also carries a good selection of Timney triggers

Just got there response. Just a heads up to anyone looking to swap out their Win 70 MOA trigger, they only offer flat triggers for this model!

Thanks for the input.....
So basically, I am resurrecting my Winchester model 70 XTR 30.06.......getting back into hunting this year.... So, I just purchased a new Nikon Monarch 3, 4-16x -50mm SF, and BDC, went to range yesterday to sight in my new purchase. Awesome !
But getting a bit of a gun nut ...I have many guns with custom trigger packs, Tavor /Super Sabre, Cadex Chassis Rem 700 5R, 300 win mag / Trigger Tech , Rem 700 VTR / 223, X mark trigger has been adjusted to a lighter trigger pull.
After shooting @ 20 rds, I felt that maybe a Timney trigger would be part of the plan....?

This is not the MOA trigger... vintage 1987-ish with no adjustment to the trigger pull. Seams to be @ 5lbs +

They are adjustable. And in my opinion the best trigger out there.

This. ^ Also, if one is handy with a fine Arkansas stone, you can get 'em into match trigger territory easily.

Rickspeed, please give it a bit more thought before you get rid of that trigger, assuming it's the pre 64 trigger which sounds like it is. I bought a "classic" a couple years ago and the first thing I did was take it down to guntec and he took it down to a very safe 2.5 lbs and boy is it nice. If I wanted a 70 with a newer trigger I'd sooner just buy a new rifle then swap it out. Now that I have that rifle with that trigger I wouldn't trade it for anything.
