I just ordered a Rifle Basix trigger for my M77MkII.How difficult is it to install with no gun smith experience?

Thanks in advance.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being an absolute nightmare, it's probably a 2 for someone with no gunsmith training. Just follow the instructions and pay attention to the recommended procedures when testing the safeties.

I've put Timney's in 3 rifles....2 of them Ruger M77's and it's easy. As a matter of fact, I ended up using only the new sear on one of them because it broke perfectly with just that change. Be careful when filing the flat top that the safety engages....a little at a time...too much and you're are screwed.

I got and installed my trigger it worked fine until I put the action back in the stock and the trigger won't pull.I think it's hitting the trigger guard.I guess I need to file for more clearence so it won't bind.Other than that great trigger.What would be the best method to remove the excess stainless?

Thanks

Rsm, I installed a timney trigger on one of my 77's last year. You do not need to remove any "stainless" from the trigger. What you need to do is inlet the stock to provide the additional clearance. There is inletting material designed to be applied to the trigger so that when you place the barreled action in the stock, you see exactly where you need to remove stock material. Now if you are cheap like me, you can take a little bit of your wife's lipstick(but don't tell her what you are doing) and apply it to the trigger. Place the barreled action into the stock and then remove. You will be able to see where the trigger is binding. Take a file and remove a little stock material wherever you see lipstick marking. Place the action in the stock, tighten the screws, and see if the trigger works. If not, repeat the above steps. Hope this helps.

I don't believe the RSM uses the same trigger, but I could be wrong.

as someone said, this trigger is a 2 on the hard to fix scale.

a gunsmith can polish it up and replace the spring, and it's goign to break CLEAN at 3.5 or so

I but 4 or 5 Spec tech triggers in they ajust just fine. matter of fact I intend up increaseing weight on a couple of them.
For quick snap shooting they were to light great off the bi pod but in the brush to easy to let one go when you did not want it to.
