you must have tried one some home "smith" had "improved" ?

Nah, the guy who owns that one isn't into modifying his guns at all, keen hunter without much interest in shooting paper. Probably left it at the factory setting and was happy how it was. My factory Savage accutriggers and lightened Ruger Hawkeye trigger are so much better that you can't really even compare them. As standard the Ruger trigger was fairly heavy but at least it was reasonably crisp.

Most rifles it doesn't take long to get a feel for how the trigger breaks, travel/pull weight etc. That Tikka I still had no idea after a couple of groups, the trigger pull for every shot was guesswork - it was a while ago now but I don't remember feeling the trigger break with my finger at all, no mechanical feel just keep pulling and when you pull hard enough it goes bang. Maybe some people like that but it really didn't float my boat.

Sorry OP, I know you didn't want this thread to turn into a fight with the Tikka fan club.
