Title: After market trigger for Rugers
Post by: KillBilly on September 07, 2009, 06:39:30 PM: If you are looking for a replacement trigger for your Ruger.....

I have a friend that had a Rueger Hawkeye with a trigger pull of 5.5+ pounds. It was a real challenge to get a decent shot with it.I called Rifle Basix and picked up a RU-MK II " Aftermarket trigger of choice for Ruger's. Kit fits new "Hawkeye" Models with LC6 Trigger. Right or Left Hand Application. Comes complete with instructions, hardware pack, and wrench for easy user installation. Operational Range: 14oz-2.5lbs"

It was a super easy install and we set the new trigger at 2.2 lbs. It brought previous 2.5 to 3.0 inch groups down to 3 rounds touching. My friend now has a very reliable good shooting Ruger. Rifle Basix makes replacement triggers for other Ruger Models as well as most other manufacturers too..

I was going to edit your post for spelling, but that didn't seem right.... :chuckle:

What did the Timney cost you and was it an easy self install?

the trigger will make a huge difference it is so nice to shoot with a good smooth trigger I was rather shocked at the difference.
