What replacement trigger for the HOWA 1500? I hate the factory trigger even more than a.savage Accu trigger

My brother put a Timney in his and seems very happy with it. It was a very nice improvement. Im sure there are multiple options available for that rifle.

The only replacement options I’m aware of are rifle basix and timney. I have a few timney triggers in them. All but one was great. The last one wouldn’t adjust as low as I like. A gunsmith friend of mine fixed it for me. It’s great now too. Red hawk did have the best prices I saw on them.

I run rifle basix in all of mine. Nice improvement. Jard makes triggers for it as well as a 3rd option. I have no experience with them though.

While I really do not care for a two stage trigger on a bolt rifle, I was able to adjust the trigger on my latest Howa down to 3 pounds with a rather easy fix. If I end up keeping the rifle, I'll probably go the Timney route some day.

I’m fond of my HACT 2-stage with a 25cent spring swap. I can’t justify $100 or more for a replacement.

I learned to tune the original single stage triggers and now like them as well as my Timneys.

Timney. Excellent improvement, and very easy to swap.

I put a Timney in my Vanguard. Huge improvement over the crap trigger it came with but still leaves some to be desired, IMO.

I went with a Timney in a 1500 Mini .223. Totally worth every $. Useful ranch truck varmint rifle now, after changing to a B&C stock and new bottom metal from out in Oregon.
Really , that was quite a bit to put into a "cheap" rifle. Oh well.
