steve_b_wales Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've got a new Howa 1500 rifle, and the trigger 'feels' okay. However, I am thinking of changing it and fitting a Timney one. Is this worth doing and are they easy to adjust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm guessing that as a new rifle it has the Hact trigger? When I had a Howa, several years ago, it had the older single stage and I was considering swapping for a Hact .. but tried one and found it 'good but..'. A decent gunsmith tuned the original and I stayed with it . A bit later I used another Howa with a Hact that had a new spring kit fitted and a little TLC and found it quite impressive. Had I not changed to a Tikka that's probably how I would have sorted it ... I guess the point is to let someone who knows how to get the best out of it sort it to your needs?

Walker570 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Had a guided tour of the early Timney factory in Glenrock, Wyoming, back in 1986 and consequently had triggers fitted to three of my rifles and scope mounts. Could not fault them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I bought and fitted the trigger, and I'm pleased with it. I've set it to 'break' just under 2lb. It can go down to 1.5lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a world of difference, i had a 4lb trigger on a 260 i couldnt get any decent group until i changed to a Timney trigger, its a tad light but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 To be honest, the final trigger on the How's wasn't bad. I forgot to check the pull weight before removing it though. I might swop them back just to see what it was set at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
