Back in June I had made a post about a Model 70 Winchester that I replaced the trigger. I installed a Timney, but the safety would not engage. Just a follow up on that. I took the rifle to a local gunsmith, he fixed the problem. As soon as I said I put a Timney on a model 70 he said and now the safety doesn't work. When returning to the range, the first five shots out of the bore were covered with a quarter. That is not bench rest accuracy, but sure beats the six inch ( and couple 9") groups it started to shoot before trigger replacement. I would like to thank members here for suggestions and comments during a time I was very frustrated. One more weekend to tune the load and then pronghorn season. Thanks again to all members that had suggestions.

I'm glad you got it lined out, It sounds like a shooter
Heard good things about the Timney! I just installed a Rifle Basix trigger on a troublesome Model 70. Easy install when following the enclosed instructions. The results were excellent resulting in a crisp 2.5# trigger.
I'm very pleased. Over the winter I will fine tune the load for longer ranges. But for now- It's hunting season
