New trigger spring

[Jarhead]

Hey all!

I have made a number of good decisions over the years (wish they outnumbered the bad ones ).

A recent one was buying a new trigger spring for my Tikka T3. I ordered this about a week ago online and it arrived yesterday.

It took me about 10 minutes to change out the factory spring- the new spring came with a single A4 sheet with simple instructions- only about 6 steps. I needed only 2.5mm and 5mm hex keys- and a torx T-25 on an in/lb torque wrench for the action screws.

The trigger is factory adjustable and was good at it lowest setting. It is now GREAT about midway through the adjustment range.

I popped in a snap cap and squeezed. 0 creep. 100% crisp. SNAP!!! & Adjustable in the range you want it adjusted.

It was so good it overcame the wry thoughts I had initially - paying $14 for a sheet of A4 and what looked like half an old ball point pen spring.

I didn't know how bad I wanted one of these until just now!

Needed to share. If you have a factory trigger, and want it better- you want one of these too but don't know it yet......a guy called Gunbloke sells them on eBay- have a look.

Jar - I agree 1000% and align with everything you just said. The howa 300wm has an absolute nail of a trigger but it’s a matter of not really knowing, what you don’t really know...

How glorious is it to be settling in to fire a shot and just as your thinking your ready - BANG! The New trigger catching you out. BUT - does make you wonder...these $15 springs - why don’t they fix them like that at factory...it’s tiny $ vs purchase price of rifle and they really do transform the firearm.

It is because they sell them to joe Public, especially in the US, and if they give them a decent trigger someone will take them to court because the accidentally shot someone and blame the light trigger.

I got some springs for my Tikkas from YoDave in Canada, turns the Tikka trigger into one of the best around. Have to feel sorry for the blokes getting Remingtons and having to spend a couple of hundred on a decent replacement trigger.

Not to necro this thread, but I bought a new spring for my 1500 .223 off GunBloke on eBay, and it's awesome. Like OP, it was about 17 bucks with free shipping. an A4 sheet of paper and a spring out of a pen, and all of a sudden my alright trigger is bloody crisp and awesome. Best 17 bucks I've spent, and I'll be doing the same thing with any future guns too.
