While I certainly understand about not wanting to spend the money, I just purchased a Geissele SSA-E when PSA had their sell at 179. A little lump in my throat when i hit "checkout" but once it came in and I got it installed, it was well worth the money and the guilt went away. That is one insane and awesome trigger. I recently purchased a Ruger MPR with their elite 452 trigger, its nice but Geissele is a step above for sure.
I went the yellow jp spring route for a few years. Fine for the range but did cost my 6yo a deer this year due to a misfire. That's when I purchased the geissele. He took a grandma doe with it saturday afternoon, perfect shoulder shot at 50yds with 62gr federal fusions.
I have several timneys in my 700s and model 7s. They get the job done, but if you ever shoot a nice two stage trigger, you'll understand the difference in money.
