Timmey Trigger

VarmintSniper · #1 03-12-2005, 09:17 PM

I had a little problems the other week installing mine since I had to sand the inside of my stock and trim a piece of the timmey trigger to fit it correctly (I called timmey before I trimmed it and they said go ahead with it.)

After about 2 1/2-3weeks later, I finally got to take it out and shoot it. WOW, this thing is crazy light. It's sick, I love it.

Just carious if anyone has one for their gun? I installed this on my Howa 1500. I only put about 10 rounds right at dust. I got it sighted in, tomorrow I might be able to get out and see how well my groups tighten up

Looking to get one for my Ruger 30-06 now.

I have one for my Ruger 77 MKII .300 Win Mag and it took very little time to install it. It dropped right into the Hogue overmolded stock I have on the rifle, but I did need to sand down the interior block for the safety. Sanding that down was a little tricky because if you go too far, the safety will no longer work. So, it was pretty much sand a little, put back in and test. Sand a little more, etc. Of course, I was using a die grinder that was attached to my compressor, so it made sanding a lot easier.

As far as how I like it, I LOVE IT. I even installed one on a Remington 700 I have, but that thing doesn't feel as nice to shoot as the Ruger. Also, installing the trigger on the Remington was a lot harder because some of the pins fell out of the trigger when I first went to install it. I think I ended up cursing plenty on that job.

I know how the cursin went, I did plenty when I was installing mine.

One weird thing happen to me when I installed the trigger, I would pull the bolt back and it would be tough to open it, sound kind it was grinding

. I was getting fustrated, so I put my gun away and I was planning on visiting my gun smith. Well the next morning arrived and I said "what the heck, I'll try the pulling my bolt back." This time it didn't sound like it was griding and ever since, it worked fine. Strange huh

Fabsroman- do you feel that your groups have tighten up since you've installed the trigger? What were your groups avg before installin and what's the avg group now.

Can't really tell you what the difference is, because it can be due to a lot of factors. I installed a bunch of upgrades on the gun at once (e.g., bi-pod, Timney trigger, Hogue overmolded stock with full length bedding block) and I ordered a RCBS reloading package and started loading my own rounds. My groups are a ton better than they used to be, but I cannot say that it is because of the trigger itself, but I am sure that the trigger plays a great part in it because I feel really confident with that trigger. The factory trigger on that Ruger was horrible.

I have them on three different Mausers. If you think they are an improvement over a commercial trigger, compare them with a Yugo Mauser trigger!!

I put one on my rem 300 win mag and it is now way better than the horrible 8 pound trigger it had, haven't gotten a chance to shoot with it yet but I was getting avg 1 - 1.5 groups before. Just got a 700 VLS in 22-250 and the trigger is horrible on it too so that will be replaced with a timney too as well. Installation was pretty simple on the 700 as it only took about 15 mins although the pins were a bit tricky at first but it was basically a drop in.
