Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Timney or Trigger Tech?

I have an early 80’s REM. 700 BDL 30-06 that shoots well but the trigger is, well, a factory REM. trigger. I’ve used Timney’s before, but I hear a lot of good reviews on the TT also. Not looking for an 8oz. target trigger pull, just a nice clean 3lb. pull for a hunting gun.

Thanks for your replies in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!!

I was fortunate to have Norm Thompson tune my BDL 270 Win trigger to a crisp 2 1/2 lbs. He's passed sadly. I hear the Shilen triggers are better that the Timneys. Not sure if they still sell them.

I don’t believe you’d be disappointed with a Timney.

I prefer Trigger Tech

They are both really good.

I have used both, they are easily installed and both triggers perform equally well. Get the one you find the best deal on and you will be well pleased.....Good luck...Hb

Old Walker triggers are not that hard to adjust. I have a few original that came at 2 or 2.5 lbs. I also adjusted few from 4.5 to 3.

Wide or narrow trigger shoe will help narrow down the choice. I have mostly timney and like the wide blade but two trigger techs I have are crisp, especially the diamond in my Rim-X.

Trigger Tech. No brainer

I've owned both and would select a TT every time.

I have good luck with TT Primary and they are on sale at Red Hawk.

Have several of both.

My Timneys have all been great, my 3 Triggertech specials and my primary are also great. My TT Diamond was a steaming pile of dangerous dog crap. Couldn't get it to go below 12-13oz safely while being advertised as safely adjusting down to 4oz.

Thanks for the replies all!!

Any others?

I've installed several of both of 'em over the years and my customers have all raved about the Trigger Tech.. FWIW..

TT for me as well. I have 5 or 6 of them, and some replaced timneys and they are fantastic.

The Walker trigger works fine if you follow directions adjusting them and keep them clean. However for peace of mind I have replaced a few of mine with Jards.

Wish TT made a replacement for the Rem 600/660 trigger.....

With so many “Aye’s” for Trigger Tech, what attributes can you aver that put’s them ahead of Timney?

I have both, and they're both great, but I prefer the shape of the TriggerTech better than the wide/flat Timney.

Did you have the TT Diamond in a factory 700 or Custom action?
