trigger and safety replacement for Swede
« on: July 03, 2006, 09:08:23 AM »
I was out at the range with my model 96 Swede yesterday.  I'm thinking  about replacing the trigger and safety.  I'll be putting a scope on it in the near future.  I have heard that there are at least 3 trigger options. (excuse the spelling)

Timney
Dayton

and another is it Bueller?

Has anyone used these on their Swedes?  The Timney is a bit more expensive but includes the safety so I'm leaning in that direction.  Thanks for any advice given.  It looks like I'm going to have to bed the action in the new stock since the groups at 100 were bigger than they were in the cut down military stock (which had been bedded).  

Thanks

Koiview,

I have the Timney installed on mine. It  "breaks" clean at 2.5 lbs with no creep and no backlash. A good trigger is where you want to spend your money. Nothing will make you a better field marksman than good trigger action.

That being said, if your rifle will group into 2" off the bench at 100 yds, it is more than adequate.  Most of us cannot hold into the accuracy of the rifle under field conditions. Until we do, rifle accuracy of itself is irrelavent.

If you can hold into an 8" circle every time. under field conditions at 100 yds. you are capable of taking any game within the limits of the cartridge.
If you can get closer, get closer
If you can get steadier, get steadier.

A telescope helps you see; it does not help you hold and squeeze.-Jeff Cooper
