Anyone using the Timney straight triggers? I've only got experience with shilen and tuned factory triggers on 700's. I like the straight triggers on 1911's but can't get a feel for what it would be like on a 700. Any major complaints?

Re: timney straight trigger?
I have also been contemplating these triggers. My guess is that if you had a vertical grip stock the feel of that would probly feel better than the curved one. But even those dont feel that bad.
Hope this helps

Re: timney straight trigger?
I just had one put on my GAP and with 200 rounds down the tube now it is outstanding. Crisp as a new dollar bill, breaks clean and is set at 1.75lbs. I do get consistent finger placement with it to despite it being flat.
All of my rifles from now on will have this trigger.

I have two now and love them. I especially like the wide trigger shoe on the Timmneys.

Re: timney straight trigger?
I'd love to try one. At that price I might have to pick one up for my 700 (which needs an aftermarket trigger anyway). I installed a geissele SDE in my precision AR-15 earlier this year and I've been loving it. The flat trigger bow really does feel great - I would assume it would feel similar on a bolt rifle with a vert grip (as stated above). Not sure I would want it with a traditional grip angle on a "hunting" stock.

Re: timney straight trigger?
Just a heads up- if you are planning to use a Timney in a Stiller ask for the long sear from the get go. Its not a bad idea to ask for the long sear anyway.
I run Jewells, but am going to probably grab a Timney 510U (thin curved blade, long sear) to replace my last 700 trigger.

Re: timney straight trigger?
I have been wondering about these as well. Looking to get a new trigger and they seem interesting. Hopefully I can find someone with a more standard style stock to see how it feels.

I have them on both of my 308s now.
One in an HTG, other in an A5.
I like them a lot.

For what it's worth, the straight, blued RH triggers are back in stock at Brownells (they've been out of stock at Midway and Brownells for awhile). Based on the responses in this thread, I ordered one to try out.

Can you explain the benefit of the long sear?

some times the standard sear will not hold the firing pin/cocking cam back far enough, causing light strikes.
here is a pic of my 700 with the standard timney sear, as you can see the cam does not stick out past the bolt shroud as it should in the cocked position.

Re: timney straight trigger?
I installed one when I built this rifle and I really like the straight shoe on it. It breaks clean and it easy to pull at a 90 degree angle. I think I got it at brownells for $115.00

I have one, haven't shot with mine yet, but from what I can tell, it has a real nice feel to it.
