I've been reading all over the Innernet about the YoDave trigger spring kit and I'm wondering about #### loss prevention if I don't get this kit for my CZ452 Varmint?

CZ452 experts; Can you confirm this preventive method? :D

Cheers and thanks for the advice!

Most certainly... The YoDave trigger kit is the only cure I know of.

Seriously though, the difference is night and day. Best $20 I've ever spent.
 
I ordered in a new CZ452 22 American and the Yodavee kit at the same time.
If I would of known the trigger was almost good enough, I would of saved the
fifteen pack of beer money.
No trigger creep and the trigger release was good.
Now I have a trigger that releases without much weight.
Just the way I like them.
Seems each one is different from the reading I have done or the later
ones have been fine tuned?
I used the second lightest spring in the kit.
Putting the spacers in.......even the smallest made for a bump and click.

And your #### is strictly your busyness............. :D

if your pecker is going to fall of you need a doctor not springs and shims.
if your not happy with your trigger. go for it. i put one in my 452 and it was night and day. if i was just plinking and shooting can it was fine. when i would set up and get "in the zone" and shoot sme crazy groups i found that i would focus on the minor creep i had. this kit fixed it.
best trigger in have in my bunch of boom sticks
 
I have 3 cz's. From factory all were a bit over 3lbs on the lowest setting but didn't have much creep. I just swapped the springs out with springs I had laying around. Each is now at approx 1.5lbs with just a tiny bit of creep. If I went under 1.5lbs they all failed the bump test. There was very very little sear engagement on all 3 of mine from factory so I'm not sure I could have used the tubes anyway. Can't say for sure though since I never tried. On one hand $20 is a bit steep for what you are actually getting.....but on the other, its a sure thing and saves you the farting around of finding and experimenting with the stuff you found yourself. That certainly adds value to the kit.
 
I just bought one and will review my results in this thread when I install it. Right now my scout has noticeable creep which I KNOW is affecting my groups. I'm the type of shooter who likes to keep my reticle moving on target and let off the shot just as the sights/crosshairs settle on the bull during the exhale pause. Its an impossible technique with a 4-5 pound trigger and substantial creep. Even with this trigger which I know is holding the gun back, I'm still managing 1/2-3/4" groups at 50m with a 4x scope. I'm confident that a crisp light trigger and 6-18 power scope will make this gun a real accurate shooter.
 
If its just trigger weight that concerns you, and you have adjusted the weight as low as possible, including removing the nut, progressively snip off 1/2 coil at a time.

The spring weight or stiffness is the concern here.
Shortening the spring may not bring the same results as
a lighter spring.
Plus, I like to keep all the replaced parts on my primer busters
original for down the road future sales or hand me downs.
It's been my experience it's a lot less frustrating to stick the
old parts back in than trying to locate an original.
 
I can understand your position on not altering original parts Kamlooky. I got the results I was after on my 452 by trimming the spring a little. I do understand the physics of it, that shorting the spring actually makes it stiffer, but removes preload, which is what the factory adjustment screw does. Nevertheless, it produced the results I desired, so that's why I mentioned it as an option. The Yodave kit addresses more than trigger weight, right, and contains tubes that act as shims to reduce sear engagement.
 
I have three 452s and have yet to purchase a trigger kit. My d1ck is firmly attached but not used as much as I'd like. I'm not sure a lighter trigger would fix the issue....All kidding aside the factory triggers leave alot to be desired, though length of travel and smoothness are bigger issues than weight IMO.
 
My kit came in today. Overall... Kind of a pain in the arse to fiddle with. It took me about 6 attempts with different combonations of shims and springs before i got the set-up right. In the end i guess my scout had a LOT of creep... i knew it was bad, but it was really bad. I used the largest shim (red) and the second heaviest spring in the kit which is about half the tensile strength of the factory spring if i had to guess, and it now breaks very very cleanly, with no perceivable creep whatsoever, at about 1-1.5 lbs, and most importantly it passed the "wack it hard from all sides with a rubber mallet without going off" test. Much better than the 6 lbs with miles of creep it came with. Best of all, nothing is held in place with glue... The next lightest spring in the kit was even nicer, but it failed the bump test with a heavy wack, and my son will be shooting this gun with me so, obviously, SAFETY FIRST!!!

Final impression... Is it overpriced for what it is? yeah, but the guy who makes them is a gunnut who has clearly put some thought and effort into the kit and is doing it to make a buck, and i can support that. Also i shipped like a bolt of lightning. I think i ordered it on Tuesday, It arrived today, Friday.

And besides the trial and error pain in the but to install... in the end, i am very, VERY happy with the trigger now. I have absolutely zero doubts it will transfer to my potential accuracy with this gun.
