Triggertech primary or timney elite hunter

[Creedmoor shooter]

Hey gang, I'm kinda torn between these two triggers and would like your input. Not looking to spent anymore than about 150-165. Trigger tech seems like the way to go based of reviews, but I've also heard theres issues due to it not having any sear adjustment. What do you guys think? This is going on my long range hunting rifle chambered in 7mm rem mag.

Have used both brother and I would go with the timney simply based on the adjustability of all the facets especially weight and sear. Both will probably do you just fine brother. Or if you are OK with 1 1/2 to 2 Lb range the ol Timney 510 has been proven for many years. Some people just don't care for the large wide trigger shoe.

The elite hunter goes down to 1.5 lbs which is more than enough for what I need to do. Anything beats the 5lb trigger that's currently on it

I think either one will do you good brother. I run Calvin Elites in every thing now and in the last years after swapping out from all the jewels in all my stuff I have not had one issue yet.

I'm leaning to the timney elite hunter right now. Seems like a great trigger from everything I've read

I have a Timney Calvin Elite , TT Primary and a Jewel. They're all very nice, but the TT is really growing on me . Some folks are down on Jewel triggers and there's plenty of horror stories about them failing in tough conditions. I've treated every trigger I own to everything Idaho has to offer and have had nothing but success with all of them . Can't go wrong with any of them in my opinion.

I sold my Calvin Elite for a Trigger Tech after trying a friends rifle with a Trigger Tech.

The TriggerTech is very nice, but I believe the Timney will be less problematic in the long run.

Timney has been way less problematic, I was not use a Trigger Tech.

I run both of these triggers on my hunting rifles. I have 3 Trigger Techs and 1 Calvin Elite. While they are both great triggers, my personal preference would go to the CE. To me, the CE just seems to break cleaner.

Thanks guys, looks like it's a timney for me!

I have three Trigger Tech triggers and they are all adjustable trigger, to me, there isn't any better trigger on the market and the Diamond series adjustment down to 1.5 pounds but they do cost some bucks. The Diamond series $265 I got mines while on sale about $210.00.

I've used Triggertech Diamonds on my last two builds and they are by far, the best trigger I've ever used. I don't know how they do it. No adjustment for sear engagement or over travel yet mine have absolutely no creep or over travel. Hands down the best trigger I have ever used. Also really like that the weight adjustment has detents and is accessible without taking the barreled action out of the stock.

At this point, I don't foresee using anything else.

I have had other triggers installed but after reading about the quality of the Trigger Tech triggers, I had to have one that turned to buy two more all adjustable. They are better than I had installed before.
