Has anyone bought a Timney trigger from the USA? Do you need an import licence or can you just buy online? They are nearly 3 times the price :wtf:

I would expect you'd need a B709 Import ticket for it.
Do http://www.Brownells.com.au list it?

I wonder if the Ebay Trigger Guy (Glen Coughlan) does those? might be worth asking as it would save you a heap and every bit as good if not better than the Timney triggers anyway - he's on Facebook if you are interested (had 4 triggers worked by him now and all are fantastic. :drinks:

Yeah i recently purchased a Timney trigger for my rem 700 via my local gun store. The prices when ajusted from usd to aud were still reasonable plus have the added convenience of local support in case of troubles.

Check if they are listed on Brownells Australia. Seems to be a pretty good indicator of what is allowed into Australia without a permit.

Brownells also do stuff that would otherwise require import permits, like triggers, magazines and such.
I just ordered another target knob Williams peep sight for the Norinco :-)

How light do you want the trigger wieght?? The older model 700 triggers can be adjusted to a very crisp 8-10 ounces with the sears squared up nicely or get it converted to a 3 lever, 2 oumce trigger weight and a lot nicer feel than a Timney

Thanks for all the info guys, I purchased a Calvin Elite trigger from a LGS. Bit pricey although I think I will get the results I'm looking for, also bought some dies, pills and a trimmer for the 300.

So I will take it to the gunsmith, have the trigger fitted and also have it bedded at the same time. So can't wait to get some time behind it. Very expensive exercise I know, once in a lifetime purchase and the Action is a great starting point for things down the track.

I did hear about the Trigger guy on Ebay, sadly I'm tim the tool man when it comes to doing that sort of stuff. Best left to the pro's :lol:

The trigger really is not that hard to do yourself. Its just a case of pushing out two pins. But if your not into those types of things gunsmith is next best option.

Yep I agree, there was not much difference. How do you find it? What rifle did you use it for?

Safer bet for me, have none of the tools required either..

I find it excellent. I have it at about 1.2lb, to match all my rifles, and is on a remington 70p in 300BLK

I went overboard at least as far as cost goes and bought a Hubert. It is a very nice trigger. 2 Stage which I really like. )The Savage Accu trigger is effectively a two stage as well.) Anyway it is an easy predictable smooth pull on the first stage which you take up to the wall. You can easily let the pressure of if you decide not to take the shot. once at that wall there is no more discernible movement. You think fire and of she goes. Really Really nice trigger from Delta Tactical who also sponsored the service rifle match at 1000yards with the Vic Police OPM well done I am sure that will grow with todays taticool rifles. So give him a call if you have a rifle that has any military or service application and want to shoot good ranges.
