I don't like the trigger on my Browning a-bolt 270 and would like to do something about it. What would you suggest? I don't have a clue where to start!!!
Thanks

The most careful approach is a replacement. See what Timney has to offer.

To get a flavor for a trigger job, follow this link on a replacement trigger for a Ruger Mark II

Brownings do have some adjustment with an Allen wrench, anything lighter than 3#s will require stoning, lightening springs or an after-market trigger.

Can't seem to find a site that offers a timney trigger for a Browning. Anyone have any ideas where I might find some info?

It's been awhile but seems the last trigger job I had a gunsmith do was around $60...........You might talk to a smith to determine if the factory trigger can be worked to how you want it, and then, how much would it cost.

Just about all factory triggers can be worked to make decent triggers.......now if you want something below about 2.5 lbs then a replacement might be better..........for hunting, a 3 lb trigger is great with me!
