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 put a Timney on mine. Took about 20 minutes. Love it.

I'll second the Timney

I've used a couple of Dayton Traister's on MKII's. They're relatively inexpensive, are easy to install and work very well.

Timney here also. Took me about 45min to get the safety right. Bob

Thanks guys,
It sounds like Timney is the ticket. I'll see if my customer wants to spend the extra bucks.

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.

Sounds like Timney has lots of fans here.

While I have never owned one, my buddy just installed one in his Ruger 77MKII chambered for .338 Win Mag and is perfectly happy with it.

He had a trigger job done on the original Ruger trigger, but was still unhappy with it. The Timney seems to be the ticket.

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.
