Who makes the best bolt gun hunting trigger?

[HandgunHTR]

If you hunt in a place where snow and ice are considerations, I recommend against one of the variants based on the Remington trigger.

I really like Tikka triggers, both factory and with an aftermarket spring.

Trigger Tech. Easy installation, wide range of adjustment, can be adjusted without removal, zero creep, never had a failure even in the harshest of environments.

TT as well

As in….enclosed trigger! If so…..I'll pass, "especially" in places of potentially inclement weather! memtb

I'm about 50/50 TT Diamond and Jewell, but since Jewell seems to be in the crapper, production wise, TriggerTech it is. I guess the external adjustment is nice, but I scale set mine and I can't remember the last time I had to adjust one

I own both Triggertech and BixNAndy triggers. I think the break on the Bix is a little "crisper". I don't think you can go wrong with either but I don't abuse my guns or run them in truly harsh conditions so I can't comment on whether one is more durable than the other.

Been Hunting in Montana spring and fall for 46 years with an enclosed trigger. Seen some pretty "inclement" weather. Never had any issues with the trigger never had any of my many acquaintances or family have an issue. A little common sense goes a long way when hunting in "inclement" weather.

Common Sense, has little to do with an accident (slip, trip, ect). If someone ascends/descends enough steep snow covered ridges, gets caught in a heavy, wet snow/ or rain, or cross enough flooded Willow Bottoms …..he/she will eventually slip/fall. Invariably…..the rifle action will get wet!

I know, we can keep the firearm in a "rifle condom"for protection, but to do that….ya ain't hunt'n! memtb

Oh man! Have I lost count of the number of times that or similar has happened.

I'd love to tell ya that I just dreamed that up! But…..that ain't reality! memtb

Use to be the Shilen Trigger but has been replaced by the TriggerTech a few years back.

Interesting. I had a Timney go bad a bit over a year ago and wrote it off to a gunsmith popping it open to take the safety out, then opening it later to put it back to factory. I file 13'd it since it had been played with, but I'd bet the sear pin was out of kilter the way it acted.
I've got an Elite hunter in that rifle now and a Timney replacing a failed m700 factory trigger in another rifle. I might just try Trigger tech. if that's the way people are moving on aftermarket triggers lately.

I reccomend never relying on a safety. Chamber when ready to shoot.

In a factory produced rifle…..the old New Haven Model 70 Winchester. I can't speak of some of the newer production rifles! memtb

That ain't no S#%$

 

[VinceMule]

Those New Haven Model 70 triggers are awesome, to say the least!
