Who makes the best replacement trigger for a Ruger 77 MkII. I've got a customer that wants his trigger replaced but Brownells has 6 or 8 different models and I don't know which one to go with.
I replaced mine with a Timney. It is an incredible improvement over the factory trigger. Several people have posted that it is fairly easy to rework a Ruger trigger, but the Timney was the fastest and cheapest route for me.
I've installed several Timneys and they work great and aren't too awfully hard to install. I wouldn't waste money on anything else, because I can't imagine it can be any better, IMHO.
Just as an experiment, I worked on the factory Ruger trigger before I put this post out. I got it knocked down to three and a half pounds. But it wasn't very consistent. It varried about 8 ounces and I couldn't do anything about the overtravel. It didn't have any slack and broke fairly crisply but I think the Timney is the way to go. I'll know for sure when I install it.
I had my original Ruger factory trigger worked very well, but, I too, couldn't get the overtravel problem worked out. The trigger metal is harder than a groom's you know what, and it cannot be drilled. At least, I couldn't get it done, my drills hardly scratched it. So, the Timney was installed. I'm happy with it in every respect and think it is definitely the way to go.
