Thinking of installing drop-in

[ax3l_]

I'm thinking about upgrading the trigger on my bolt gun to improve my long-range shooting. I’d love to hear your recos! What drop-in or aftermarket triggers have impressed you when it comes to break quality and overall consistency? Looking forward to your thoughts!

If you’ve got a budget and really want the best of the best, you’ve got to check out TriggerTech. I treated myself to a TriggerTech Diamond for my custom precision rifle, and wow, it’s honestly the best trigger I’ve ever laid my hands on. The break is so clean it’s like snapping a glass rod. You can adjust it down to 8 ounces if you’re feeling really adventurous, but I usually keep mine around 1.5lbs for practicality. The only catch is the price, they generally go for about $250-300 depending on the model, which is definitely on the pricier side compared to other options out there. But honestly, if you’re serious about precision shooting, it’s worth every penny.

Depends on the rifle you have. Timney or Trigger Tech or Bix and Andy (if you just have to have the best trigger and have deep pockets) all work great. But, these are geared towards Remington 700 and clone actions, some Tikka actions and a few others. For Savage, get rid of that POS Accutrigger and get a Rifle Basix, thank me later. For Winchester style actions, I think Timney is all that is out there worth swapping out the factory trigger. I tell customers, do not spend $300 on a new trigger for a $400 rifle and expect it to turn into a tack driving, precision machine. Very rarely does that work out to your advantage (I have worked on them all and with very few exceptions does the budget rifle ever turn into anything but a cheap rifle).

Choose a single-stage if precision is your top priority. Two-stage systems can be useful, but for long-range tasks, that crisp, consistent break is really hard to top.

+1 for Timney as well...

I have installed 4 Jewells on my Rem 700’s and love them. Unfortunately, I think they are now out of business. Also, a Timney on a a 1908 Argentine Mauser, works great!
