FWIW IMO the new Haven style trigger though sound in design sucked in practice. They never felt good or had light enough pull, even when done up by a model 70 smith.
I hear mixed reviews about the MOA trigger. I could have lucked out and gotten a good one that only needed lightening.
After the Ernie's trigger spring was installed, my particular MOA trigger became better than the best old-style M70 trigger I've ever had.
But I still prefer the old-style trigger for its uber simplcity.
Brad, I've said the exact same thing. Having many pre 64's, classics, and a few MOA's AND shooting them side by side. You'll see a difference, especially, in offhand and other field positions where it really counts. My MOA's were a very consistent 2.5 pounds after the ernie spring and my last BACO rifle (that I recently sold) was a very consistent 2 3/8 pounds was damn near perfect as far as hunting triggers are concerned. However, there's no denying the simplicity and ruggedness of the oldstyle trigger that you find on the pre 64's. I'll still take the old over the new, but the design on the MOA is sound and anyone who replaces one with a similar Timney, likes throwing money out the window......
