Isn't that still better than zero ounce trigger firing? :p I wonder if they consider dates on the compensation for user replaced triggers. ie Can you replace it now and get them to pay for it later, or is it too late?

Trigger mechanisms are control by customs, but you can do a B709A to import one.

You could but direct from Timney, $200 US.

NIOA are importing them.

Speak to your local dealer and they could order one for you.

Should be no probs.

Sir, you have impeccable timing just finished the 7mm and AFAIC tell they're worth every cent.

I put the b spring so pull weight is aroun 6 to 10oz and buy far the best trigger i have ever played with.

one thing i realy like about these triggers is you can adjust everything without taking the stock off.....

Aand the x mark trigger that was in the rifle was set at about 11/2lb as the ebay guy worked it over, so now it's for sale.

Cheers,

No such luck on my Anschutz.

You can adjust weight with the stock on but not the travel when you're getting getting rid of the creep for a clean break.

Pain in the ass putting it together and apart 10 times when setting it up the first time :evil:

i just do the adjustments before i put it back together .


buster wrote:Tell a noob what 'back lash' adjustment is?



it is the adjustment that limits the amount the trigger move's back after the sears break .

for off a rest i like no backlash but on a off the shoulder hunting rifle i like heaps of backlash

like on a cz 22 it is just personal preference .

Sorted now anyway. Would have just been nice to do it all from the outside like you can.

Cool, thanks mate.

Never new such an adjustment was in there. Travel and trigger weight is all I've ever heard anyone talk about.

I see the reason for it though.

+1 for the hunting.

I've shot some minimal backlash triggers in the field and with the difference pace of shooting I find my finger starts to ache from pushing against the stop when I'm expecting some follow through on the trigger pull.
