For big game hunting rifles, it use to be Timney. Now, Trigger Tech seem to be all the rage!

No question about it. TriggerTech all the way.

Rage on…..TriggerTech! I have one on a M700 7mm-08 that is as good as it gets. Couldn’t ask for a better trigger.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Another vote for triggertech, my only beef with them is on some the safety is a little too easy to move from safe to off safe.

Having both I’ll buy triggertech for precision. The only tinmey I have is for a 375hh. I like the wider shoe for some reason on a big bore.

Funny stuff. The trigger tech I had quit working after the 30th trigger pull. Then they had the whole recall issue when they admitted that their triggers quit resetting the sear. Pretty much a worse trigger than a factory Remington. Using Timney Hit these days with good success.
Best of luck with those Trigger Techs.

I have two Trigger Techs and like them very much. I have had no problems with them. I got the first one in 2018, installed the second one a week or so ago. I have used Timney and Rifle Basix with complete satisfaction as well. The sale on Trigger Tech triggers at $105 was a great deal. The price was so good that I bought two. My Trigger Tech triggers are on Bergara rifles. They are Remington clones.

Unless you were to get a lemon from any specific manufacturer, which is always possible, a Jewell, Trigger Tech or Timney will all not only suffice but will be a significant improvement. I don't think you would regret any of those. I have used all three and I guess I would say that I can't tell the difference. Maybe I'm not good enough or sensitive enough to tell the difference.
