[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1435998, member: 10291"] That was a major concern when I purchased the Timney. IMO, if the instructions are followed, a safe trigger can be achieved. I haven’t dropped the rifle to test the trigger but I did make a point to cycle the action numerous time very rigorously, and hitting the rifle butt on floor ptretty hard to test for accidental release.. I also spent time cycling the safety in all positions while pulling the trigger while on safe. I have had no involuntary releases of the sear(firings). I have shot the rifle on several outings with no issues. Unlike the Accu-trigger, there are safety and sear adjustment screws. I did not need to adjust the sear screw, but did have to tune the safety “after” the desired poundage was set. Not difficult, but important. Some other important points. Do not try to set the trigger lighter then 1.5#. Use a trigger gage! The sear has to be under a certain about of spring pressure. The sear will release if the trigger bar is pressed when the barreled action is out of the stock since the trigger bar is exposed. Unlike the Accutrigger, there is no trigger safety on the Timney to prevent firing. For this same reason, like the Accutrigger, it’s important to be sure that the trigger assembly/trigger bar does not make contact with any portion of the stocks interior. Overall, I prefer the Timney over the Accutrigger, and I’m confident of its safety.........As with “any” trigger/firearm, practicing safe gun handing is important. [/QUOTE]
