coles Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I am planning on having trigger work done to my Ruger Hawkeye with the LC6 trigger or installing a new trigger. What trigger do ya'll recommend. Obviously Jewel triggers are amazing but i dont know if one is made for the rugers and i dont want to spend over $200 for just a trigger. Anyone have Rifle Basix or Timney triggers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've used the Timneys before and liked them. But for a hunting rifle, I think I'd just take the rifle to a good gunsmith and have him work the factory trigger. He should be able to get it down to 3 lbs, which is about as light as I like for a hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking that i dont want it any lighter than 3 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyohunter Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 get a timney, its adjustable, if you take down the factory trigger, your stuck with it, unless you buy another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 If you have a good gunsmith in the area let him try to work the factory trigger over first. It is much less expensive than buying a new one and if your smith knows what he is doing 99% of the time you will be happy with the results. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 wyohunter said: get a timney, its adjustable, if you take down the factory trigger, your stuck with it, unless you buy another Depends on the trigger. Some factory triggers are adjustable and some require stoning the sear faces and replacing springs. I would suggest you see how much adjustment the current trigger can take without modification first. Then if permanent sear work has to be done to get it where you want it, bite the bullet and buy the Timney. Stoning sears to improve a trigger is a permanent change and like Wyo says if you get that done and don't like it, you are in fact stuck with it!

Rugermk2 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I recommend the Timney. Pretty easy to install, You might be able to do it yourself if you felt comfortable. I have two rifles right now with Timney triggers, both are set at a very crisp 2 1/2 lbs with absolutely no creep. A timney trigger compared to the factory's is like night and day. Every rifle I have owned I put a timney in. Trust me, you can't go wrong with buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have Rifle Basix or Timney triggers? I have the same model gun and I really like the Timney trigger. I don't know why they don't install a better trigger from the factory. The rest of the gun is just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
