New trigger for Sako L461

[mausermate]

I am rebuilding a custom rifle I purchased a number of years ago.
New 223 500mm bull barrel, new scope, stock makeover, rebedded, and maybe a few trick bits like a nice butt plate and pistol grip cap. Might even go down the road of replacing the hinged floor plate for a detachable mag option.

The current trigger is a Canjar set trigger. I want to replace it with a two stage trigger.
Sako L461 Short Action. Any suggestions?

I notices a jewell trigger for an old sako on used guns this morning, couldn't tell you if it's suitable or not , don't think its two stage but could you adjust more pre travel into it ?

saw the Timney not the Jewell! looks like a single stage. Not sure about adjusting more pre travel. Think you need a different setup for the two stages to work properly.

[Chronos]

Ok mate, no worries just thought it may work out for you

[mausermate]

Thank you.

I appreciate the help.

Chronos, do you think they changed that usedguns add. You said Jewell, I thought I saw Jewell this morning, and now it say's Timney! I don't really know the difference but it's weird.

Maybe it's a troll.

[Chronos]

hmmm, i'm pretty sure it was jewell. might have been changed if the seller had an email telling them t was wrong, i've done that myself when i noticed an add ad the wrong pic attatched

What are you doing with the old Trigger?

[mausermate]

Suppose I'll sell if I can find a suitable replacement. You want it? I'll keep you in mind big fella.

Might be interested mate, any idea if it would fit a L461Ai?

[mausermate]

one way to find out.
Project on the table

[bigfellascott]

Have you got a model no. for the trigger mate, might be able to work it out via that.

Yeh mate! close...just keeping the action and stock. everything else is a changeover.

[bigfellascott]

Mausermate, you don't appear to have your PM's set up, so not sure if you can do that and send me a PM (personal Message) re what you want $ wise for it please.

There is also always the ebay trigger guy lots of people seem to use.

Expired now but he does the L461 jobs, I've seen them on their before for $40 or something I think.

The ebay triger guy? who is he? can you explain?

[bigfellascott]

Just google Ebay Trigger Job - you'll find him.

[horter]

Search trigger jobs on ebay and you'll find him.

He has listing for work instead of items. It's about $45.

You buy then send him the trigger and he works his magic to make it light and crisp and sends it back.

I haven't used him myself but he gets lots of good feedback.

He will actually need the complete rifle to do the Sakos - as far as I know he doesn't have a action to test on to set them up right (well he didn't when I took my Sako to him).

[horter]

That's the first I've heard of needing the whole rifle, doesn't seem to be the case anymore anyway.

There is a listing for L461 trigger job online at the moment and just talks about mailing the trigger back and forth.

Can only message him and ask I guess.

More to do with setting it up right, you can't test it without an action!

[mausermate]

thanks fellas.

[horter]

If you go down that road Mauser let us know.

I might do the same if it pans out

[darth]

Hi, know this is an old post but I am also looking for a Canjar trigger set for my L461.
Bigfella or Mausermate if you still have it and want to part with it please let me know

TIA darth

Sold my rifle mate - got sick of the bloody thing so bought a tikka with the money

[darth]

could'nt get it to shoot well??

could'nt get it to shoot well??

nup, more rooting around than I was willing to put up with so out the door it went, got no time for crap rifles no matter what's stamped on the side of em - quite simply if they don't shoot and work as I require I move em on to someone else to stuff around with. The amount of diff load combos etc and still it was flatout achieving 1" was good enough reason for me to make it someone elses.

[darth]

in the first L461 (222 rem mag) that I owned I had the same problem, long story short tryed some 50 gn sierra flat based projectiles and never looked back. I had a few people tell me the same, might be a sako thing???
