Trigger options..... bix n andy triggertech diamond or timney hit

[Baron23]

In my experience, creep is movement before the sear is released. I’ve heard it called pre-play or pre-travel but seems most often called creep.

Movement after is over travel.

Pardon me stating the obvious to many here but there does seem to be some confusion about this in some of the posts in this thread.

I’m not verifying the total precision for the descriptions in this link but you may find it helpful.

I run TT Diamonds and personally don’t feel the need for over travel but many do like it and we are all entitled to our preferences. I have not experienced any grittiness in my TT triggers. To me, they break very cleanly.

BNA just seems…for ME and me only…too much of a PIA.

My plan was to buy both and compare but wanted to make sure on the bix n andy part before ordering. Going to call bullet central tomorrow and see what they say about all that.

Heads up. They’re going to ask you if you’ve measured your action. Do that first.

I don’t find TTs to be gritty at all they are very smooth but that is what I did like. The remind me of the electric triggers of the 90s. I love a bit pre travel/ take up and some over travel I also love that I can set my own sear depth. But I concur that those are characteristics that many find annoying. I have always preferred a 2 stage trigger and grew up with Anschutz match triggers. Enjoy the TT, I shot them for many years and have a box of them.

Yeah, while over travel isn’t something I feel I need, I would like a bit of movement before the break if there is a wall so as to ensure I’m married to the trigger shoe properly.

I have a CDG with a Timney 2 stage light. I’m waiting for a barrel on another gun to give up the ghost (6.5 cm w 3,100 rounds on it and it’s still shooting .5 MOA) to strip the chassis and optics to use w the CDG C so I haven’t shot the Timney yet

If I find I really like 2 stage, I’ll prob sell my Diamond single stages and move everything to 2 stage. I’ve shot other people’s rifles w 2 stage but never really enough to eval if that’s my preference. But I do think I’ll really like the 2 stage.

Thanks for the reply.

Does the 2 stage TT have over travel after the break, or is it dead wall like the single?

 

[oldrifleman]

It is dead after the break, at least mine were
