That's because the tikka has one of the best triggers out of the box apparently, doesn't need it

They really are good with a lighter spring. Recently received a rifle with a standard unit fettled by Mr Kershaw, and it's nigh on perfect, and I haven't even looked at where the spring tension adjustment screw is.
Proper technique more important than just being light and crisp...

I couldn't agree more, had a T3x 5 odd years and never messed with the trigger. Always worked flawlessly. Especially that OP is looking for another single stage
If you can get him to answer his emails.
The springs are there for everyone to see on the website but no option to buy.

As I recall, I called him, chucked a tenner in an envelope, and had my spring within days.
Gun Bloke however comes from Oz, via eBay, takes a bit longer.
Gun bloke or Apex UK spring replacement. Very crisp and light, perfect.
Tried some other springs and not a fan.
I think a replacement trigger group is a waste of money tbh unless you specifically want a two stage. The trigger functions great, it's crisp but its the original spring is just too hard/dense and the squeeze is always too heavy for me. I have 3 Tikka T3's and all 3 are set to the exact same trigger squeeze, about 1.5lbs. It makes using them and alternating very universal and much less chance for human error. For me.

The tikka T3 as in the old T3 ? that was a single stage usually . the later T3X is it ? is available two stage or single i think? I dont like the new two stage ( though i have other rifles with two stage ) just dont like them on deer rifles .
Tried a modern Tikka with the 2 stage , i was after one right up until i shot it - really didn't like it myself

So I have tried the timmeny trigger (2 stage) and the standard trigger with lighter triggger spring. Honestly the original trigger with the lighter spring is best. I have tried all three lighter springs I could locate and the lightest is the MOUNTAIN TACTICAL TIKKA TRIGGER SPRING
from brownels available with a short wait in the uk. That one runs about 12oz the other two I tried are about 1lb as is the timney trigger. I’m settled on the original trigger and the mountain tactical spring at the lightest setting

Got all my T3 and T3x trigger springs from there.

I swapped out the spring on my 85 .308. Bought a kit from this company:
lumleyarms.us
Have a look. Don't know if they ship world-wide.

I've polished the contact surfaces in original trigger and run original spring, set a bit over 1kg. A friend gave me Yodave spring since he ordered a few of them. Problem was, I couldn't get above 600 grams or so with it (cannot remember exactly, few years ago). The trigger worked flawlessly, but I prefer 1kg on hunting rifle (seems to suit my shooting). Unpolished trigger you can get over 1kg no problem (with Yodave spring).
So if you're after a light trigger, a quick polish might be worth it. Just remember it's a POLISH using some very mild compound and not rounding the edges. And do serious "bump testing" to make sure there's enough tension on the trigger to keep it from accidentally releasing.

Really dont like a "hunting rifle" ( without a selective set facility) to break at anything like that low personally. Not just about the safety of such a thing but the fact that i will be using the tool when tired , wet , cold either - sear engagement could possibly lead to a negligent discharge in loaded carry ( with the smaller threshold , with wear ) . Paper punching fine!
I use this one, made a big difference to the stock one.
