Tikka Triggers

[Pete1944]

Hi Gents,
Just asking those that know, Tikka offer some of there models with either single stage trigger or single set trigger.
What your opinions on these?
Any info or thoughts would be good. And thanks in advance.

The single stage trigger is all you need, I’ve used the set trigger and it’s disgustingly light, I mean even if you fart in the wrong direction it goes off.
I also fitted an aftermarket trigger spring in my CTR and took it out as it was again too light and the trigger didn’t feel as crisp.

tikka also do a two stage trigger, thats in my opinion the one to have and it should come with a bolt release option when the safety is on.

 

[monarman]

The 2 stage triggers are brilliant... and the bolt openening whilst on safe option is worth having.

2 stage trigger would be my choice too.
The single stage is fine too once you adjust it.
I never liked set triggers

We have Two Stage Factory Triggers in stock
Easy to fit, tuneable,
I run one personally

Factory Set Triggers are available but require a sending gun back to GMK

Others are available but tend to be eye watering like Bix'N'Andy etc

Set triggers suck. JMHO. (and anybody who's tested them for accuracy potential) I had a Fox .222 i got rid of because the only decent trigger pull was to be had with the set trigger. Like a bad trigger job, a light trigger is not necessarily a good trigger . -Muir

My cz had a forward set trigger, I got dismayed with it. As Muir said, not necessarily good.
I jammed it up which then goes on to make the factory unit quite a decent single stage.

I had two 2-stage Sako Triggers from Ed to fit to my 2 Tikka T3X so my S20, 75 and both T3X all have the same triggers and safety features - KISS
Excellent service from Ed

2 stage tikka for me

 

[palo]

I had a cz 453 22lr that came with the set trigger.
It could be used as a single stage or set trigger.
I often shot it at targets using both trigger pulls and always shot better using the single stage.

Bizarrely, the factory-supplied two stage trigger on my Super Varmint didn't have the bolt release, although the genuine Tikka part I'd bought previously for a different T3x did. I liked the one with the bolt release so much that I bought another one and swapped it.

Two stage for a 75?!?! Do tell.

Two stage for a 75?!?! Do tell.

Aaaargh - I may have been a bit over-zealous in my phrasing there! The 75 is a single-stage triggers with the bolt-release on safe feature, as originally supplied in 1975. I bought the 2 Sako 2-stage triggers from Ed to fit to my 2 T3X to make them compatible in layout/safety features. Whilst I have not replaced the 75's original trigger therefore with a 2-stage one, my thinking is its FFF compatible but I leave it to Ed @Edinburgh Rifles (or others) to confirm.

 

[Mungo]

I’ve never really understood: what is the supposed benefit of a 2 stage trigger?

 

[RS99]

Is it possible to fit the S20 single stage trigger into a T3X? I would quite like the bolt release feature but not at the expense of having to suffer a two stage trigger.

You can now get triggertech triggers as well. Circa 260 for the cheaper model and 360 for the diamond.

Cheers I have had 2 tx3 lite (.243 / .308) with single stage triggers and have had no problems.
Just wanted some input on tikka set triggers.

Thanks I also have Tikka tac 1a in 6.5CD and love the 2 stage trigger on it.
I've sold my .308 lite and planning to get a UPR in .308.
Do you know if is possible to change the single stage trigger too a 2 stage trigger in the UPR?
Thanks in advbance

The 2 stage triggers are brilliant... and the bolt openening whilst on safe option is worth having.

How does the open on safe feature work?
