which is better, or which one do yall prefer a BASIX OR TIMMEY

Another option would be to order a replacement sear spring from Wolfe springs and keep the Ruger trigger.I have not tried this myself but have been wondering what a difference it would make.I know the striker spring replacement is a good improvement over the original.

neither...Spec-Tech is the best

OK .404 just ordered a 860-001 spec-tech trigger from Brownells $78.00 hope its good

this trigger is OK..it could ues a little more polishing or.. it could use a little more time in the tumbler. has a few rough edges but ok...

I did just that for my Hawkeye .223. Really helped with the weight of the trigger pull. It definitely is worth the few bucks for the new spring. It's easy to change.

I can't find my notes on it but iff you search the web you'll probably find info. Bassically you do need to polish things first, the one mod is to take the edge of the sear off at about 45 deg angle. Keep this angle edge sharp. Polishing touching surfaces will smooth things out a lot, include the pin hole. It can be cleaned up with lapping compound and a drill bit that barely fits. Turn the bit around so the smooth part of the shank is used.
Lighter springs can be had easily. Nate

Thanks BigNate

I put a Timney into my Ruger RSM .458Lott early this year, but used the original Ruger spring, an option that Timney suggests. Had to carve a bit of wood off inside the stock but that was not a big issue, and again it was mentioned by Timney.

I've used the Timney triggers on only two rifles that had terrible triggers, but have been happy with both.

I replaced mine with a Timney and have been very happy with it.

I'm wondering about those two statments.

I thought the sear engagment should be 90 deg angle?

Also wouldn't polishing the pin hole allow it to not fit tight, thus allowing a slight amount of wiggle?

I put spec techs in 4 of my ruger MKII rilfes so far and just ordered another one.

They are easy to install and work well

I too vote for the Spec-tech trigger. I have used them all and have been satisfied with all, but like the Spec-tech, best for a Ruger.....Tom
