Trigger ?

[wisconsinteacher]

As some of you guys know, I am trying to get my Ruger rifles shooting better. Both have factory triggers in them and I am starting to think that new lighter/smoother triggers will help my shooting. My 30-06 has the tang style safety and the 22-250 has the 3 position safety. What would you do to improve the triggers of these two rifles?

any smith can improve them alot, unless ya wanna replace them with an aftermarket.

Do most smiths charge a flat rate or per hour rate for trigger jobs? I am guessing the skill of the smith will determine if their job is better than a drop in trigger. I just want the best quality of a fair price.

Most any competent smith can adjust your trigger to your satisfaction and ensure there is no creep left in it.

make 'em better ? adjust them or have a smith that knows Rugers do it - the tang safety 77's are atrocious but can be huntin' rifle adjusted well enough

Has anyone ever put a Timney trigger in a Ruger? Was it difficult and did it help? I am thinking about going this way because I enjoy doing my own work.

I have placed several in tang type safetys. One required some stock modification. The three position required more work and several fittings. You have to file off a piece in the new trigger, too little and it doesn't work, take off a little more. Too much and you need a new trigger. It has been a number of years since I have done one so they may have changed.Rick.
