Anyone using a Trigger Tech trigger......if so, please share your thoughts & opinions. How do they compare to a Jewell or Timney trigger??

Thanks for info!!

I've got a couple of them. They're not a Jewell, but for a guy wanting a 1.5-3 lbs trigger, they're awesome. I much prefer them to Timney, and would probably even say they're a bit better than Shilen. The trigger shoe isn't as wide as the standard Timney shoe, and the break is clean and crisp. Very easy to adjust without removing the barreled-action from the stock.

Thanks for that review. I think the design is quite interesting.

It seems like one of the best if used in really dusty situations. The roller just rides over the grit with little change in feel. For a pull weight over 2.5 lbs I would pick it over a Jewell. Less than 2 then the Jewell.

Trigger Tech now has two models. One is a standard replacement hunting trigger to replace the Remington 700. Trigger Tech will adjust from 1.5# to 4# and second another model that goes below 1.5#. They use a roller between the trigger and sear. No two pieces of metal scraping directly between the trigger and sear. Here is a link to their web site: https://triggertech.com/collections/bolt-action/products/rem-700-primary-trigger

I got turned on to the Trigger Tech triggers about 6 months ago when one of the top Remington 700 action clone manufacturer said one of their larger buyers for their custom actions had gone to the Trigger Tech triggers. The story goes that the Canadian Army sniper units have gone to the trigger for their sniper rifles. One of their sniper instructors had opened up a Trigger Tech trigger, filled it with sand and put it back together with sand still in it. The rifle would still function not at 2# but now at 4# without any other problems. The Trigger Tech trigger is a one piece unit, either with a safety or without a safety lever - your choice.

Brownell's list the trigger on line, without the safety lever. Directly from Trigger Tech you can get a one piece unit with trigger and safety as a complete drop in!!! Really nice!!!! I called one of the gunsmiths at Brownell's and he said he did not know a lot about the Trigger Tech trigger. I asked him how Trigger Tech triggers Brownell's had sold? After a few minutes, he came back on the line and said, "My gosh, we have sold over 750 units in the last 6 months and not one return! Guess I had better get a unit and look at it closer."

I have four of them now. They are not a Jewell, but are better than a Timney or Shilen. But for a hunting trigger in wet or dusty conditions they are the "cat's meow"!! What I like about them is they are all one piece, drop it in and no fiddling with a Remington 700 sear that requires 3 hands to replace. Adjustment is from the outside the trigger guard with a small hex head wrench. The adjustment is a click adjustment (like the click adjustment for windage and elevation on upper end scopes) that equates about to one pound per click. I check with a Lyman Digital trigger guage and one click does equate to about an ounce. Lots better than turning a screw, check, adjust, check, adjust, etc. Really well designed and about half of a Jewell.

I bought five of them a while back, but none have been put through the paces yet till the weather lets me get to my spots.

I called a buddy that has had one since they first came out, and has had zero issues, so his & others reviews convinced me to make the order.

I like the way you can open them up for cleaning

Don't have one yet but I will soon. When I discussed my last build with Nate @ Hill Billy Customs he spoke highly of them and told me to try one out. Figure if he likes them then they should be good to go!

I like the way you can install them and everything fits and works like it is suppose to, and I didn't feel like I needed an extra set of hands to keep the parts in place during the install.

With the pull weight on 2 lbs. I dropped it cocked onto the recoil pad from about 3' high several times and it held safely, slammed the bolt hard a few times.

My final set is for 2 1/4 lbs. and it feels perfect, and seems to break more consistently in the same place on the pull gauge than my Timneys.

I will use these for all future M700 trigger replacements.

Thanks Texasdude for posting. I didn't realize they have the left hand model out now. I asked about LH triggers sometime last year and Emailed a request. Apparently they listened.

There will be more of these on my LH rifles now.

You never heard of 'slave pins'??


I'm doing a custom build right now where the customer's wanted a Trigger Tech. The box just arrived Saturday and should be on the finished rifle by Wednesday.. It's the first one I've been asked to provide and install and I'm looking forward to it..

Redneck,
You don't need slave pins with the TriggerTec. You can get them with a safety lever already installed. Just drop in and knock the pins in place!! It is one complete package and you are going to ask, "Why didn't I think of this?" No more sears or springs popping and going across the room. Sooooo eazzzzzy!!!

I know that..

It's the original Rem trigger than needs the slaves...

Not really, and even if I knew what they were, I'm pretty sure I don't have any.

LMAO...

Slave pins are (in this case) two pins that are the same diameter as the originals but only long enough to span the exact width of the trigger body.

Install the slaves to keep the sear and its spring in it's proper position. Then place the body in the receiver, using the original pins to drive the slaves through to the opposite side for retrieval..

Saves the use of several 4-letter words, IYGMD...

I have a small box with about two dozen various slave pins that are needed for a few firearms..

I'm hearing the New Bix'n Andy TacSport two stage is in a league of its own. https://bulletcentral.com/product/bixn-andy-tacsport-rem700-two-stage-trigger-sporting-rifles/

Timney Calvin

I bought their AR Adaptable and so far I'm very pleased.

I'd like to try a single stage Tacsport !

I'm on my second one. Neither will adjust below 2.5 lbs without allowing the striker to follow when the bolt is closed vigorously. Nothing unrealistic, just good firm bolt manipulation. I'm not impressed and have gone back to buying Timneys.

how would the trigger tech be rated against a 512 Timney? for those who have experience with both.

This is a great thread.

Just noticed this problem with one of my early production TT triggers. They had an upgraded "Special" model replacement in the mail to me before my old one had even arrived at their location for inspection.

Pretty fantastic service. We'll see how my other TT units hold up.

I like the TT quite a bit better.

Jordan,

I see even foreigners celebrate birthdays.

Happy birthday.



Travis

Thanks, buddy. In Canukistan it's not called a "birthday", it's called an excuse to buy more guns.

GFY.

Replacement trigger arrived yesterday. Got it installed last night. Set at 1.5 lbs, very crisp, and no more falling striker when closing the bolt vigorously.
