Well,since the recall I have actively been looking at new trigger setups for my remington.

This is my question.

I have been leaning towards the Timney 517 with the flat trigger.

Does any one shoot with a flat trigger,and would you recommend it for some one that has never shot with one?
 
I recently put that same trigger on my rifle and I like it.
Mine came out of the package set at 3 3/4 lbs and is glass rod breaking crisp.

If you can tap out two pins its an easy swap.
 
I'd go with what your used to. Timney is a good trigger, but myself I prefer a curved shoe. It's your preference, but if you've never shot a flat trigger, why do you wanna try? I like my Jewell's better but for the $ Timney, Shilen both gtg.
