Post by: CastleRocker on January 24, 2010, 07:13:38 PM: I tried a Timney, and I have mixed feelings. It is a definite improvement, however it wasn't near as good as I thought it would be. It still broke around 5 lbs, and had (what I consider to be) a lot of "gritty" feeling creep. I have Timney triggers in two other bolt guns and they are superb. I did the "internet 15 minute trigger job" on mine. Except for the creep, it felt about the same as the Timney. Definitely better, but still not the best. Next thing I try will either be a Geiselle (spelling?), a McCormick, or the one that really intrigues me is the new one from Jerry Mickulek. It's spendy, but I've come to realize that you get what you pay for. It's sold by a company called "American Trigger Corporation", or by PACT. The ATC website gives all the particulars. http://www.americantrigger.com/?gclid=CNnrh4e64J0CFSFRagod5zL0Mw

My 3lb timney breaks at 2lb14oz and has no creep no gritty feel just breaks like a glass rod. And the other triggers arnt a simple drop in like the timney.

Post by: Straight Shooter on January 25, 2010, 08:31:55 AM: Although the Timney is an improvement, I was still able to group very well with the "crappy" factory trigger. It was almost like a two-stage trigger... once I got a "feel" for it, the trigger would break at about 6 lbs after I took up the slack.
