Timney Triggers - Do you own one?

weekender · 07-06-2005, 01:34 PM

I've got a Ruger M77 Mark II that needs a trigger job. I'm thinking about going with the Timney, although there are less expensive options available. I'd like to hear what people who have them in their rifles think of them.

Its a big game rifle. Not varmint or benchrest.

I do!
The newer Ruger triggers are non adjustable and very rough.We measured the one I replaced and it broke at 13#'s! Timney is the way to go, fully adjustable and you will never have to mess with it again.

What's more affordable? I bought a timney trigger from midwayusa.com for like $64.95. I love mine on my ruger m77 7mm. Very smooth. I'll be ordering another one for my new .223 soon. (father's day present) good mama.

Canjar makes a good triger also. I have one on my M77 Ruger and I love it.Also have one on a model 37 remington 22 (target rifle ) was set at about 3 ounces and never any trouble.

Timney makes a good product and the service department is first rate. They built a coustom seer for one of my rifles (the stock seer wouldn't work on the Mauser variant I had) at no charge.

RUGER SHOULD BE SLAPPED FOR WHAT THEY DID WITH THE M77MkII TRIGGER!!!

I have one on my wife's muzzleloader. First rate piece of equipment, I'd recommend it.

i love it. my .308 came with mine and it ajustibe that is a A+++++ because i like not having all that play in the trigger and waiting for it to go off like my dads old rifle.

after a couple of hundred rounds through my 300 win mag stainless ruger 77mk II the trigger started getting much better.

Swift Fly Guy · 07-08-2005, 09:41 PM

Love mine in my Savage 300 win mag. Midway is a good place to buy, watch for the sales each week.

I have one in a ruger 77 and it is excellent! The factory trigger is a joke!

sunshinefisherman · 07-13-2005, 09:26 AM

Have one on order for my Winchester Model 70.

I am considering an upgrade on my Marlin guide Gun from Wild West Guns in Alaska.

alaskan · 07-13-2005, 09:39 AM

I love them, I've put one on every rifle I own, except my Remingtons, which are about the same.

I agree, Ruger should be slapped.

Proper spelling, grammar and punctuation important but I'm spelling challenged and I really have to work at it. :depressed:

Timney makes a pretty darn good trigger. I've messed around with them a bit, but for my money, I love the Shilen offering. I currently have one on my custom .308 Winchester and will from now on use them exclusively on every rifle I build.

Timney, Jewell and Shilen all make very nice aftermarket trigger groups.

duckdog310 · 07-20-2005, 01:04 PM

Oh yeah. . .and avoid Rifle Basix triggers. I've not had good luck with them, both from a functional standpoint and via their customer service department. That said, some guys swear by 'em. YRMV.

I just put a Timney nickel plated trigger my Winchester model 70 SS but I have not shot it yet. It seems to be really crisp and is definitely much better than the stock trigger.

There is pin that holds the bolt stop and spring that needs to be cut off and glued. Optionally you may install a 6-40 X 3/8" socket head setscrew in place of the pin. This involves tapping the receiver. I thought that the first option was Mickey Mouse and I am buying the setscrew after work.

This is definitely not a "drop in" installation and I recommend that you check out what needs to be done to your firearm for installation. Especially if you plan on installing it yourself.

Spelling ****?

Actually, I use spell check quite a bit (I wrote this post in Word) but I do tend to be a �grammar ****."
