YES

Now that I have people's attention...

The trimming springs option is kinda meh...

Far better to drop in a spring kit. Gunbloke's are excellent. I have three kits, all 2lb, for the HACT triggers. They make a significant improvement to the trigger, worlds apart from the factory feel with the heavy springs.

Perfectly safe, for the reasons outlined above.
@Pete_D, buy them through the ebay.com.au store, easier. No problems getting them here.

I've been arguing the case on these HACT triggers just yesterday, there's a shit load of misinformation on how they work, and how "adjustable" they are, and a lot of crap information on forums. Glad to see its getting a sensible go here in this thread.

Bottom line, the shooter needs to watch the videos to see how they work (simple) and understand the limitations and risks of trying to wind out the screw to achieve a lighter pull. It is far better and far safer to use a lighter spring. Like I say, I far prefer to use kit springs.

Properly lubricated and with a lighter spring, an effortless 2lb pull with no creep is just normal for my Howas.

As for spending $280 on a Timney for a $800 rifle....
