The few Trigger Techs I’ve used have been outstanding.

The Diamond is probably the best trigger I’ve ever felt.

I'm intrigued with the Trigger tech products... for those that may have used them....do you to go all the way up to the Diamond model for the Trigger Tech's to separate themselves from the pack of competitors?

I have several of the TT “specials” and they are outstanding.

I have 2 of the primary triggers on my hunting rifles, they have both been perfect, really like the trigger shoe especially - just right as far as feel IMHO.

For those running the Trigger Tech's did you have to adjust your normal poundage of pull up or down? I have (2) Calvin Elite triggers and the rest are older walker style 700 factory triggers adjusted. I typically set mine at 2 1/4 to 2.5 lbs of pull....all on hunting rifles

I like all my rifles to be roughly the same pull weight. The TT can feel slightly lighter because of the smoothness of the break.

I have Jewell, Timney, Shilen, Rifle Basix and Trigger Tech. I won't buy anything else going forward except Trigger Tech.

All the TT triggers I've used have felt incredible. The main difference between the different lines is the pull weight range.

as someone who has only ever used re-worked remington/walker triggers and been very happy with them, what is the incremental benefit of a TT or other aftermarket trigger?

Always had my eye on one till I saw 2 failures this year. One had right at 300 rounds on.... the other exactly 32. Both guys went back to TTs.

Once you try a TriggerTech trigger, you will understand..

I put a Jewel on the defiance to be fancy.
I put a Timney on any of my 11 Rem 700 rifles, as soon as I start working on them.

Agreed.....

TTs sear engagement design sets it apart from the rest. The concept may be being used in others that I’m overlooking, but nothing comes close to the consistentcy and break of the Diamond IMO. Not Tubbs, not Hubers, not Jewells, not Calvin Elites or B&As.
