I need a new trigger to replace the frightful factory trigger in my Interarms Mark X. The new trigger needs to have a safety. Timney lists a Sportsman trigger WITHOUT a safety for about $50, but not one with a safety. They have the Featherweight Deluxe model with a safety, but it costs over a hundred bucks!

Can anyone recommend a good adjustable trigger with safety for my Mark X that is not quite so pricey?

Timney is hard to beat. I wouldn't go with a cheap trigger.

+1; that FW is a great one.

I got set up a BOLD for a buddy & it's served him well. About like a Timney Sportsman w/ safety.

Have you tried adjusting the factory trigger, or having a gunsmith adjust it? I have had a couple of the Interarms Mark X's and found the trigger very easy to adjust and resulting in a very good trigger.

Just something to think about before you spend money.

BR,

What trigger configuration does your Mark X have? Early Mark Xs had the two-stage military style triggers and later ones had sear/over travel/pull weight adjustments. The cocking piece associated with these two triggers differs and dictates which aftermarker trigger will mesh with the cocking piece configuration (notched versus flat).

My Mark X has the two-stage military trigger, and it is truly frightful! The pull is about 8 pounds, and there are no adjustments whatsoever. I'm pretty handy, and could figure out how to improve it some, but I would rather just put a good trigger on it. I like Timneys and have several, but I really would like to look at some less costly alternatives before I drop a C-note on another Timney.

Any more reports on the Bold trigger?

think that you are going to have the gun a long long time and get a Blackburn Trigger and a 3 position safety for the thing, and don't look back.

I didn't remember where my Bold triggers was made so I checked them at Brownells, Made in USA. $55 so they won't seem cheap. grin

The bold triggers have worked for me as good or better as the timneys.

Timney and a 3-pos safety M70 style is the way to go on a Mauser.

Another plus one for both Bold and Timneys. Can't go wrong with either.

For less than $100 as the OP requested?

I can't tell any different in results between the Bold and the Timney. I think the Bold is underrated, at least in my small experience.
