Good Triggers

[ScoutMan]

We know that with bolt actions and companies like Canjar and Timney, that we can get a good trigger (no more than 4 lbs, and no creep) for bolts.

However, to get the equivalent quality trigger on other action types, what does it take, and at what cost?

I would say most bolt rifles (Win, Rem, Savage, Browning, CZ, Ruger, ...) CAN be adjusted/worked to #4 without creep.
When you want a trigger at #1.5 that will not slam fire you need to go with an aftermarket trigger
Gonna edit this one... I have a Ruger Semi auto with a good #4 trigger that is safe and a couple of Savage 99 levers with the same

Many can be helped but there are some design limits that are nearly permanent.. The ar series of rifles have aftermarket triggers available and there work well. Many rifles, autoloaders especially are not built precise enough to tune a trigger pull very low with safety.. Almost any trigger taken to 1 1/2 pounds will be very sensitive and are really for target work.,. No field gun should be below about 3 pounds.. The cost of adjusting a trigger and if the process is even feasable is a function of the design and whether or not the gunsmith feels comfortable doing the work. Unfortunately or society has completely ignored personal resposibility and many tragedies produce lawsuits because the trigger pull was reduced..that the gun was mishandled is not relavent and insurance is expensive.. Take the gun to a smith or call and ask.. Good luck..

But,

Can levers pump, autos, singles, be adjusted down to my standard (4lbs, no creep. At what cost).

The answer is yes.. The cost is very dependant on the weapon involved.. There are a few that are nearly impossible to get creep free and over travel free but those just require more money.. Are all of these feasible???  NO.. The cost will be prohibitive. Autoloaders are really bad as the tolerances in cheaper versions are so loose the presion needed for a really good pull is just not there, but is one were to invest the time(money) to tighten those tolerances the trogger can be made to meet your specifics..  The amount of money is not fixed.. It will always be dependant on the weapon in question. If you have specifics we can perhaps get more specific but general questions require some generallity in the answer.
