[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 1914543, member: 10723"] Ol' Red, I know that you have been given some good advise but I would like to add a point or two. First as stated earlier I own 6 Model 70's and I have replaced the factory triggers on three of them with Timney triggers. The first two were early 2000 models bought in 2001-2003. On both I had to remove some metal from cocking piece sear.. I have the instructions with me and they say this "Due to the varations in the Model 70 actions. there may be difficulty in getting the safety to operate properly. If the safety will operate apply the safety, pull triggger and release safety if the firing pin fails remove a small amount of metal from the cocking piece sear at point #5/ Repeat until the sear is lifted off the trigger when the safety is applied" You probably need to talk with Timney about what you need to do. I just wanted to add that I tried to install a Rifle Basic trigger on my pre64 and I never could get it to work properly. It may have been me since I am not a gunsmith.However I did install a Timney on that gun. It took some work but it works great with a 3lb pull. What I have said could be added to what Frog4aday said.
