Unfortunately I never made it to the range this weekend so I pulled out some snap caps and had a play around with the trigger. Based on my old 1500 which I purchased (and later sold) in 2006, it is laid and bounds ahead. The 2 stage trigger is new as you all know but there is no creep.. At all! This is such an improvement in my old 1500, the trigger had so much creep and didn't really break cleanly. It's not my tikka but it's pretty damn good for the price.

I'm hopeful this thing can produce good results. Things are looking good.

find it hard to believe there is a Howa HACT trigger with no creep, they usually have about 4km of it... Mine for example i removed one of the springs and added a piece of match stick to the inside of the spring and put it back to get rid of the creep. other alternatives is to take the first stage spring out altogether, theyre horrendous for creep.

Flutch, can only comment on mine. My last one sounded much like yours, terrible amount of creep. Couple that with a s#$t stock and it was a horrible combination.

This one came with tags claiming moa guarantee etc etc. Not sure if they tidy the trigger on this one more than the others or if they all come with this tag nowadays. Either way, it definitely is creep free and I'm happy.

nice, yeah mine shoots clover leafs all day, theyre solid guns probably best bang for buck out there... my trigger was appalling took a lot of lapping it in with diamond paste and steel wool to remove all the grittiness too
