Any opinions on Triggertech vs Timney?

Gunsmith did say the ex trigger was dirty and that could have contributed to problem, combined with the moisture and unusual cold yesterday (cold by MS standards grin). He cleaned and lubed it well and refused to charge me anything. We tried about 25 times to recreate problem after he reassembled it, but of course it wouldn't fire.

Either way I'm going to replace it, asap.


I suspected it was dirty. The m700 trigger can trap dirt and grime and need to be flushed with lighter fluid. I recommend once a year after hunting season. Also be sure to clean with a bore guide. If not cleaning solvents can get into the trigger and gum things up also.

Go with the trigger tech for a replacement definitely.
