good trigger for around $150

[leadbullet]

I have a stiller TAC300 action that is getting barreled and chambered in 338 edge, the damn thing needs a trigger, what would you recommend?
single stage and clean break at around 1.5-2 lbs would be my preference

Timney. Simple.

+1 for timney. Love my 517 (flat) set at 1.5#

thanx guys, there is just so much to choose from, timney, shilen, jewel huber etc it is hard to make up my mind.

I ran the Shilen for a while, run a Timney 510 now. Jewels seem to lock up more than others when they get dirty, so keep that in mind. The Shilen has a narrow shoe while the Timneyis much wider. Both have a consistent break and good feel so it comes down to preference.

If you decide on the Shilen, PM me and I'll make you a good deal since it's collecting dust at the moment.

Nothin wrong with the pre-xmark triggers!

The OP brought it up, does anyone have any experience good or bad with Huber triggers? They're on the expensive side, but I haven't heard many other cons... I've always heard Timney as the workhorse trigger.

If you engage the first stage & let off, it will not reset the first stage. This makes it a single stage at that point, unless you run the bolt again. Could get a little harry if you forget & you have a light second stage as I did. I loved the trigger but sold it & went with a CG. Hopefully this has been resolved since I had mine.

Sorry, never owned or shot their single stage, but I bet it is a fantastic trigger. Only have experience with huber 2 stage.

A tuned up old 700 trigger would be a good option as well

thanx a lot to all you guys for setting me straight.
