Just purchased yo Dave's spring for my t3 lite 223. This appears to be a great trigger upgrade for the already great stock trigger. This spring works for any of the t3s. It brings trigger pull down to 12 to 20 ounces. Once installed on the lightest setting I did several drop tests with no issues. The trigger has no creep and has an extremely light pull. I recommend doing several dry fires to get used to it. I have not seen a lot on this trigger upgrade before before and I realize all it is a lighter spring but it seems to work very well. Just wanted to post it for any tikka owners looking for a bit lighter of a trigger pull.
 
I took my trigger group off the rifle and put it in a vise with the trigger screw facing up. Took a small file with fine threads and filed down the face of the trigger screw down until I had a little over a pound pull with the trigger screw backed out to the bolt as a stop as it is designed for now. Their is plenty of depth inside the screw to do this and still use the wrench for adjustment should you want a heavier pull. The trigger is perfect for me and no need to spend a dime on 1.
