I fitted a Bix n Andy trigger to my T3 but these are like huns teeth so im lead to believe.
I’ve seen plenty of Germans with a full set…

My pals son works for them Ha! Got me thinking now as I have a T3 30-06 NIB never yet fired it. Life gets in the way.
I have fitted springs from Yodave Products to several Tikkas, but the last one didn't seem to lighten the pull as much as the others did.
The one the rifle came with.
Tikka's single screw attachement not the optimum setup for a super light target trigger IMHO, if it comes loose you are in deep trouble, @gixer1 knows...
There is a reason why most custom rifles use the Remington style of 'trigger hanger' with two pins at each end to hold it in place. A pain to change especially if you have the original Remington boltstop/release but very very secure.

I have both a mix of Tikka factory triggers (fettled and adjusted by @Ronin to be a lighter pull ) and a two stage Timney on my match rifle.
Both the factory single stage triggers and the Timney are both excellent triggers, I only changed to the Timney as I prefer two stage units.
One gripe I do have with the Timney is the safety, personally I prefer the safety to lock the bolt, the Timney does not do this, which isn’t an issue for matches, however for stalking I prefer to know I won’t lose a round if I’m crawling through some thick undergrowth, this may not bother some people but I didn’t realise this when I bought it.
KRG do a Midas Two stage, however I haven’t handled one of these personally. They do seem to be highly spoken of on other forums when I have asked the question about them though.
In my opinion you can fettle the factory trigger to be pretty much everything you need, the only reason to change to an aftermarket would be a preference thing.

Your rfd an get you the tikka 2 stage triggers from gmk....... I have one in each of my tikka rifles and they are great.... they lock the bolt until you press the litte catch which releases the bolt whilst trigger is still locked.
It's what they put in the tac A1 and the new varmints.

I had a TAC A1 and was delighted with the two stage trigger on it.
As good as my TRG’s trigger.

But when you have left handed tikkas it's the only choice.....
And still cheaper than a timney or trigger tech.... and after having used both timney and trigger techs there isn't that much difference so happy to pay a bit less and get a 2 stage trigger.
Still wonder where that 30-06 bullet came down!
