Tikka triggers

[powdergun]

I have not owned a Tikka yet and was hoping to get a little info from all the Tikka owners out there.

My question pertains to the trigger. How does it rate relative to:

1) Savage accutriggers
2) Stock rem triggers
3) Weatherby vanguard

I've currently changed a trigger in an Axis to a rifle basix and that made a huge and I mean huge improvement.

So is Tikka providing quality on their triggers out of the box or does a fellow have to tinker a bit ?

Thanks

the tikka is better than a rem or vangaurd out of the box. pull is adjustable with an allen key. i haven't had a t3 that needed a smith to tune yet. the accu triggers are pretty good as is. i prefer a well tuned rem trigger but for out of the box the t3 has most beat.

Tikka use Sako type triggers, which are among the best ones you can find on a commercial action worldwide. It can be safely set to a very low poundage with a little training. Can't go wrong with it.

My Tikka Tactical is set at 2lbs, and it is crisp and creep free.

The regular single stage triggers are great. Waiting to see if the single set ones are as good.

on the Sako, they are.

The trigger on both of my Tikka rifles are set to 1 pound and they are definitely equal to the sako my brother owns.

Son-in-law's T3 out of the box trigger was as fine as any good gunsmith could possibly set it. Zero creep, broke like glass at about 3 lbs, which is perfect for a hunting rifle.

First rifle I've seen that didn't need adjustment right from the get-go.

Tikka triggers are fine right out of the box. You can do tune it yourself to a lighter pull. I had a 'smith do mine when he was lapping my rings and it breaks very cleanly.

They are great right out of the box.

Gotta agree with the other guys, i like my Tikka trigger. Only shot one each of the others and didn`t mind the Savage, the Vangard was not nice at all.

Mine is very crisp, I adjusted it to 3 pounds in about 30 seconds.

Mine was good to go - right out of the box, nice and crisp

Wasn't impressed with Accu triggers, love them on my Tikka's, I also set them at 3lb. Also have a nice trigger on a Rem Model Seven that was adjusted to 3 lb by gunsmith.

i have 2 Tikka T3's, 2 Remingtons and one weatherby. The weatherby is by far the worst trigger of the bunch. it has lots of side to side motion and a little gritty. With some work it is not to bad. The Remington x-mark pro trigger I had my gunsmith tune up, and it is now very nice. The T'3 and my Sako A7 are all very very nice triggers, user adjustable and break very smooth and light.

My T3 and Sako A7 both had the same feel to the trigger, very crisp and perfect weight range for a hunting rifle.

When Sako purchased Tikka they converted their full Sako line to use the Tikka triggers. The old Sako triggers were good ones but the Tikka is better.

Old tikkas have some of the crispiest trigger breaks imo

I have my Tikka T3 Roughteck 6.5 PRC set at 2.5lbs exactly. It's perfect, no creep , no over-travel, and I can make first round, center of mass hits all the way out to 650yds no problem. It's almost as good as my Carl Gustaf 1900.
