trigger compared to Tikka
« on: January 21, 2006, 05:13:04 PM »
as much as it surprises me,I gotta admit that the NEF trigger compares favorably.....I detect NO creep in either,both are reasonably light and both are free from overtravel......only bad thing about NEF's is that it isn't adjustable without grinding parts,but mine doesn't need adjusting :D

I'm a huge Tikka fan, and they have one of the best triggers one the market.
BUT, I have noticed in the last several months, that NEF is doing a much better job with the triggers on their rifles. I looked over every single rifle that's been through our local shop, and they were all very respectable. Coincidence or not, I don't know but it's a good thing. I even though about purchasing a .243 that had an absolutely super trigger, and I don't even like the .243 !!!

Roger Your last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
H/R triggers compare favorably with the best on the market; they are light  [appx. 3.5 lbs] and crisp, no creep or staging. 4.5 lbs. is the service rifle criteria and there are a heck of a lot of TRWs out there on M-14
SuperMatches that go for Beaucus big bucks that aren't any better.  A trigger with a moderately slow lock time will in the end help to make you a better rifleman.  When training in the off season indoors [50 ft. smallbore] the slow lock time of a good competition .22 develops sensitive trigger squeeze.  USAMU and Mar.Corps both practice this way.
In my never to be humble opinion a good trigger can go along way to making a good gun even better, and the Handis and Ultras are exactly that.  A mediocre trigger will make a good weapon mediocre, no remarks on Tikka[sp?] here; I've seen them and their fit and finish is quite good from what I've seen; no experience with them.

If you want good training and discipline in trigger control, breathing and shooting skills, hone your senses shooting a flintlock, it will definately show you what you're doing wrong and what to do to correct it!!! :eek:

I bought a 223 ultra light for my son..
I have a Titkk T3 and a Sako Forrester, both have 1.75lb triggers with zero creep, clean break and no overtravel

I was very surprised when I tried this 223 ultra light
I was expecting a 5-7lb long, gritty trigger

no takeup, nice clean break at what I would guess is 3-4lbs
I decided to jump on this particular one
with some use it will get better

I dry fired it several times sighting down the barrel at a bright light and never saw the barrel whatsoever.... good indication

hopefully I can find some loads it likes
