I am looking to change out the factory trigger on my Ruger M77 Mark11 to an aftermarket one, does any one know who would have one in stock? Was thinking about a Timney if possible.
 
I did some honing and cleaning up the trigger on my mk11 it improved it quite a bit. But at the end of the day its still what it is, fine to me for a hunting rifle though.
 
How much improvement did the Timney trigger make? And do you recommend it?

I ask because I have a Ruger M77 II fullstock stainless in 7x57 being shipped to me as we speak,
and I very much will want it to be everything I'm hoping for.

I installed a Timney on a Ruger MKII compact I used to own...massive improvement in pull weight, and that was an LC6 trigger that was replaced.
It's about time for Ruger to address their factory triggers shortcomings, the so called "improved" LC6 breaks clean enough but is still about 3lbs to heavy.
 
I got a Timney one that I got from Mystic.
It will require fitting for the safety.
With the stock spring, I got mine to 2 pounds very clean break and short over travel.
Worth it.
 
+1 on Timney. I installed one in my Stainless Ruger 77 MKII when the Timney product first came out.
That was during the much simpler pre-ITAR age...

The Timney has an over-travel adjustment, a capability reworking the factory trigger will lack.
Big fan of over-travel adjustable triggers.
 
The Ruger Mark II trigger is not nearly as bad as everyone imagines. I just did one last week. Honing small angles onto the trigger piece and the sear and cutting a coil off of the spring got it to 3-1/4 pounds with all but a hint of creep which I could have removed with a bit more work. They are not too much different from the original Model 70 trigger in the way they have to be worked on.
 
I had the trigger on my early MKII worked on by a gunsmith and it's now one of the best trigger in my rifles. I have an Alaskan with an LC6 at Guntech as we speak, much nicer trigger than the MKII was from factory but just needs to be lightened up a bit. Maybe worth a look before ordering an aftermarket one.
 
I recently got two RifleBasix triggers for my MkII's. Easy DIY installation, not target grade but very useable hunting triggers and a huge improvement over the originals. They were in stock at JoBrook's.
 
What did it cost to have the trigger done?
