I have a Timney 510 and I shot a rifle this weekend with a Timney 2 stage Calvin elite and messed with a rifle that had a Tubb T7T. Has anyone shot one or both of these and would care to give me some of your thoughts on them. The Timney is $180 or so and the Tubb is $385 so trying to see if it's worth the money.

I like the Tubb trigger.
I didn't care for the Tubb. 18 ounces one pull, 12 ounces the next pull...It has a HUGE hangar that may require that you hog out some metal or fiberglass on your stock. I thought it was a disappointment. The Huber was ok, but I wouldn't get another one. The Timney's are great, but my favorite is the CG Extreme. Great trigger and highly adjustable.
I have two Timney Calvin Elites and for the money they get the job done, but there is a bit left to be desired from the second stage on both triggers. My first one was a regular shoe CE and it almost nearly feels like pistol trigger, has soo much take up when you get to the second stage before it drops the firing pin. The second is a flat shoe and it's much better but there is still some take up, they're both just similar to nice pistol triggers to me. Which is not a bad thing but i'd prefer follow through for the first stage in unison with a single stage like break for the second.
Didn't realize he had come down on the price of the huber, i'll be picking one up then.
I have the flat two stage timney and like it, but I'd love to know if the CG Extreme is worth its price at 2x what my timney is

I had the CE 2 Stage on my primary competition rifle for a while. I have since moved it to my backup rifle. I like it, but I still prefer the single stage.....at least for the time being.
The more I shoot my CG 2 stage triggers, the more I like 'em. Started with one Xtreme Mod22 trigger, and have since upgraded two other rifles with CGs.
Sorry, have never shot a Timney 2 stage, so can't compare with the CG. But I do find them nicer than AI's 2 stage, if that helps?

I have the Huber set at 2.5 lbs. I would get it lighter then that but I don't have a problem with it. I really like having a defined wall and crisp break.

I've been nothing but happy with the two stage calvin elites, and have transitioned all my rifles to them
This pretty much covers my thoughts on it. I sent it back to Timney, and it came back better, but the second stage is still not as good as their single stage triggers.
I have a CG Model 21 going in my new match rifle. I have one on my prone gun and like it. They can be a little annoying to adjust, but are very good once you figure it out. Tom Meyers can help with that. Anyone that doesn't like the CG is probably because they didn't have one that was properly adjusted.
I've been following this trigger myself and intend to check it out, assuming i can find a compatible trigger hanger for the Tempest.
Blackops_2 lucky for you we made some trigger hangers to fit the Bix'nAndy in the Tempest just befor shot show! I guesst they aren't on the website yet, but give us a call +1 701 371 4444 ask for Dave or Chris. $30
I am looking at the Trigger Tech. Seen one on a Tempest. Amazing break but as of now only single stage.
Personally I would go Huber 2 stage! I've spent most of my shooting life behind AIs and if you like there triggers like I do the closest thing was Huber for me. Excellent Experience with them I told them exactly what I wanted and they delivered a perfect trigger. Anyways just my .02s
Moved from CE to XTSP now going on 3rd rifle and have been very happy...
I too am a yuge fan of the Huber. It breaks so clean. I have one in both my 700's.
Better triggers for most people in field conditions. A two stage trigger with a three or four pound pull allows the shooter to have a trigger heavy enough to make snapshots without having a trigger so light overall that the shooter accidentally pulls it before he means to and it allows a shooter in a prepared position taking his time to simply apply the pound and a half or two to the trigger to pull through the first stage and then treat the second stage as a conventional single stage trigger with a pound and a half or two pound pull.
I have owned every single 2 stage except the cadex. I own an AI, I will be excited for bix n Andy. Nothing compares to the AI trigger. It's not light but man is it solid and the reticle doesn't move when u break the second stage.
AI 2 stage triggers are pretty nice, but they're expensive, starting at about $4500, but they include a free rifle..
LOL - isn't that the truth - none better (well, maybe Sako) - I digress...
I haven't tried either of the triggers in the OP, but it seems the scope opened up a bit during the discussion, so I'll throw my $.02 in the pot.
Between the Huber, and CG - I prefer the CG Mod22 (though neither is really a BAD choice). For me, it comes down to the wall - which I think is more defined and has a sharper edge on the CG...
