Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters JB or others any thoughts on trigger tech?

i've got one ordered for a 700 rem. and hoping it lives up to my expectations?

Great triggers!!!

They are excellent triggers. I used to use Timney. I have zero Timney triggers in my 700s now and have six Trigger Techs.

I put one on my 6mm Rem 700. It had a professional trigger job already but folks here made me nervous about it since I will leave it to my son one day.

The TT was cost effective. It went in easy but I did have to shave a tiny bit of the stock around the safety. Don't let that scare you, it was very easy and very minor.
The trigger itself is very crisp as one would like. It is adjustable but mine was perfectly set from factory for my taste.

The only negative I would mention is that the safety is rather spongy and doesn't really click on\off with much of a feel. I think with gloves or mittens or pulling across fabric (like a wool coat) one 'could' take it off safety without knowing. Not sure if this is just on my single instance or more common.

I would still buy another but might try a different brand to compare before doing that.

You’ll love it!

Shilen makes an excellent trigger for the 700

Got one on a 700, love it!

Yes--and so do Timney and Trigger Tech.

I like Trigger Techs, but to tell the truth cannot feel the vast difference between their pull and a Timney or Shilen that some people claim to. Or or for that matter a properly adjusted and/or tuned factory 700 trigger.

Agree

The safety “feel” is my only complaint as well.

Every gunsmith i know who used to use Timney has switched to Trigger Tech, im in the TT camp myself for anything 1-2.5 lbs and factory action.
My Defiance i run a Diamond at 10oz its nice.
I have shot Jewels and 1 Bix n Andy tacsport pro it was really nice i would use those in a factory action if you want less than a 1lb.
The ability to adjust a TT while its still in the stock is also a great feature.

Trigger tech is a fine trigger. Timney as well. Won't go far wrong with either.

Timney or Trigger Tech - I don’t see any advantage one or the other.

Not a gunwriter.

The safety on my timney is very positive and it is an US company. I didn't have to fiddle with bending the bolt release on the Timney like I did the TT to get it to work. The TT design may have advantage in very dirty conditions, according to them, but I am not going to drop either in a mud puddle to determine if it is an accurate assessment. If I hadn't gotten into practicing offhand and preferring a sub-three pound pull I would kept the Walker triggers on my two remaining Remingtons. I can't tell the difference between the TT and the Timney pulls but I am just a duffer rifleman.

It was said above and true with me also, I used to have lots of Timney triggers and now have none. They
were slowly but surely replaced by TriggerTech.

Timney does make a fine aftermarket trigger. However the TriggerTech product is so much easier to adjust
that it makes the purchase decision a no-brainer.

Given what John wrote about not being able to tell the difference between an after market trigger and a professionally tuned stock (presumably early 60's Walker) should a guy still spend the money for a Trigger Tech? My seldom used 700 7mm Rm was reworked by Brown Precision and the metal work by Shilen. It has never been an issue, but given that the Walker was professionally tuned, should a guy leave it or change it?

I cannot tell the difference between the Trigger Tech and the Timneys I put in Rem700s I build.

I cannot even tell the difference from the stock Remington trigger....I just replace the stock rem triggers because they might be unsafe.

I replaced the factory trigger on my Bergara B-14R with a TT Diamond and the result is night and day better.

I have some of both. And agree with this statement.

I wouldn't change out a well tuned Walker trigger.

The newer Remington X Mark triggers are a POS and the only good place for them is a landfill.
