Two stage trigger for Sako quad?

[JustBC]

Can anyone point me to a good two stage trigger that will work in a Quad Range? I was hoping to use a TRG trigger but there is no way it will fit. There is a KRG trigger that may work, depending on bottom metal. Has anyone installed it? If so, what did you have to do to get it to fit? I have looked at the Timney but I am hoping for other options.
Thanks.

TRG trigger will not fit? I am guessing the stock needs to be modified?

Nonetheless, KRG trigger sounds good also.

I have run a Barnard T-3, which is finicky, hard to adjust, and has no safety. Also has openings on all four sides (fore, aft, top, bottom), which makes it a dirt and dust trap. I liked it but it was too delicate for field shooting.

So now I run a Timney Tikka T3 2-stage in my Quad. Works like a champ. Got the total pull weight to 1# or so.

No intel on the KRG, which I believe will fit the Quad, except for their website which sates that you shouldn't adjust the pull weight below 2# or so, which was a deal breaker for me.

Thanks Starbuck, solid information.

Why Sako Finnfire P94s ?

My center fires are Sako TRG-22 6.5CM folding stock gen 2 and TRG-42 338LM.So after some reading, I thought. I’ll get a Sako P94s and install a trg two stage trigger and adaptor to accept trg bipod. This way my .22 lr trainer will be as much close to my center fire as possible. And here it is...

Edit, didn't read closely enough. This is exactly my use case, I have TRGs and want a .22 trainer with the same trigger. So you made the trigger guard. Did you have to do anything with the bottom metal to get it to seat right? I have a spare TRG trigger guard I can use if necessary. Did you do all the work yourself? If so, what is your level of machining experience? Could a "civilian" do this?

Trg trigger guard is attached to the trigger with pins. Slightly punch them out and remove the trigger guard. Install trg trigger to the quad receiver without any modifications. Try and adjust pull weight. It should go way below 1 lb safely. I made my trigger guard from aluminum on my hobby mill. It was a lot of labor, but it worths for me. My experience is with Sako p94s Finnfire. Quad and p94s receivers are different only in their length, I think. There should be no problem. I also have a quad range and thinking of installing a trg/krg trigger on it also. But since I prefer shooting the p94s, I’m still holding on this project. Trg trigger has longer trigger shoe and travel and that requires larger trigger guard. If you have a hobby mill, time and a lot of patience, yes it’s a civilian job. The other option is BnA trigger.

heading down to the shop to have a look. Thanks, appreciate the help.

Well, that isn't going to work out without a fair bit of machining. The stock needs to be milled out to accept the trigger guard and one of the action screws would be covered. I am going to try the KRG midas. I am waiting to hear back on one last dimension before I buy it.

 

[Atanasius]

Did you remove the trg trigger guard from the trigger?

 

[JustBC]

Yes, I have a spare

Thanks for the tips. I ended up fitting a KRG Midas trigger. I had to do a bit of milling on the bottom metal. The trigger shoe was a bit too wide. I have the DIP aluminum bottom metal, not the stock plastic crap, so I could actually mill it. The trigger is adjusted around 3.1 lbs. I should be able to shoot it this weekend. @Atanasius your Finnfire is sweet, beats the Quad imho.

 

[Atanasius]

You should be able to adjust the trigger way below 3 lb because quad firing spring is “weaker” than a center firing springs.
Have a lot of fun and good shooting!

Took it out yesterday. I have to say, that KRG trigger is pretty sweet. Worth the effort.
