Timney makes a great ruger trigger. it is close to drop in you may have to fit (file)the safety boss on the trigger to the ruger safety Search this site for ruger triggers
there is a pdf file with good picts & directions for re-shaping your oem sear & trigger.

I think Rifle Basix makes one as does Jard. They may not be totally drop-in, but easy enough.

Just have a good gunsmith do a trigger job it! Those are easy triggers to get down to 2-2.5 pounds and very crisp. Aftermarket triggers are a waste of money with the way the stock one can be set up. I have done probably 40 of them.

I had my smith work on my Ruger trigger and it is now one of the best triggers I've touched. I asked him to set it at 3 lbs. It's almost perfectly 3 lbs and has ZERO creap. I almost wish it had a little creap left in it but after shooting it I certainly won't complain.

I should also say if it is an "adjustable" trigger you're after then by all means, buy a Timney. As they are a local company I might have a little bias but I have shot a 300 Win with one and it was an outstanding trigger.

I've done five triggers on Ruger Mk II's, three aftermarket trigger installations, plus two trigger jobs on the factory triggers. The easiest, and to me the best aftermarket trigger to install is the Rifle Basix. I did one with a Timney and another with a Spec Tech; both of those required filing the shelf on the trigger to get the safety to work. That is antsy. But, the Rifle Basix has a unique approach to getting the safety to work that requires no work at all. It's a no-brainer.
The two I did using the factory trigger were fine, but ended up at about 3 pounds pull. They started off at about 7 pounds pull. The others can be adjusted lower, which I prefer.

Thanks guys.I was a only able to get it down to 4 1/4 lbs. by swapping out springs.Not good enough.I will polish the sear and if that does not do it get a Timney or Rifle Basics.

I ordered a Rifle Basics from Midway and got it today and installed it.Truely a drop in trigger.Got it set at 2.5lbs and it repeats that everytime.The saftey works harder than before ,but works as it should.I give it an A+,OB

Good job!!!
Glad you like it.

How were you able to get the damned thing back together? I took mine apart in 1991 and it's still a pile of pieces in a shoebox...
