Winchester Model 70 trigger

[Brewer]

holy cow! that's heavy. you know though, when you get used to a 2# trigger, they are really kind of nice.

I don't want it "really light", just less than what it is. I'm finding it hard to squeeze the trigger enough to fire it while staying on target. I'd guess it must be somewhere around 8 or 10 pounds, but I'll check with a scale before changing anything.

Gloves or no gloves, individual preferences all factor in. I'd say on average, somewhere in the 2.5 to 4 lb range would suite most of us. I like the low end of that range.

Not a huge fan of my brother's. It's the "budget" line of 70 from the mid 2000's. Meh.

i've got a relatively new win70 in 300wm with the stock moa trigger. i can get it safely down to almost 3# (digital scale verified) but would prefer much lighter, to just above 2#.

i see that timney has a win70 moa replacement trigger - anyone install one of these?

any scoop on these triggers?

does jewell make a win70 moa replacement?

thanx folks.

Belated welcome to LRH.

Sorry but why not start your own thread to avoid hijacking the OP's.

Also, you can use the custom search on the top right hand corner; this is an excellent tool that is very under-utilized. lightbulb

Good luck!

it was a tossup to me as i do believe my question is in direct relationship to the op's question about win70 triggers.

used it and found nothing apropos, hence my post.

Good luck!

i don't think it'll be luck as much as knowledge, which i'm seeking and will sure to find. but thank you.

Most of us if we feel it is directly related to the OP's, we simply tag or monitor it.

I'm glad you knew about it, there are others that don't or refuse to use it. Most members that try to help however, refer to previous posts by others >>> i.e. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f37/trigger-replacement-118426/ where both trigger on your query was covered. Others don't mind repeating themselves on the helping process.

Query results varies on how it is queried! There are lots of members here that are always willing and able to help. More often than not, if I have a question on something, I find the answer on the archive.

Sorry if you took offense to my post, it was "not" my intention. Cheers!

... I'd guess it must be somewhere around 8 or 10 pounds, but I'll check with a scale before changing anything.

My dad has a 670A with the same thing. Little creep and then stiff pull. Is it safe/possible to adjust the factory spring down to 3 lbs or is a replacement spring necessary? I've adjusted several trigger styles but not the Winchesters.

Finally got the trigger adjusted. Originally, it was at 6 1/2 pounds, now at 3. Next time I can go to the range, we'll see if things have improved. It's very easy to fell the difference with my calibrated index finger, though.
